Get ready for an evening of empowerment and philanthropy as United Way presents two Power of the Purse events, poised to create positive change in the lives of children and families across Whitley and Kosciusko counties.
"Power of the Purse is where women are empowered to support dynamic efforts to change the lives of children and families. It's fun and energizing. There’s time to connect, enjoy food, and win amazing purses!" said Juli Eckel, Women United chair.
According to a news release from United Way of Whitley and Kosciusko Counties, mark your calendars for two events.
Power of the Purse, Whitley County, will be from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. April 25 at Eagle Glen Clubhouse, Columbia City.
Power of the Purse, Kosciusko County, will be 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. May 2 at Blue Barn Berry Farm, Leesburg.
At the heart of Power of the Purse is the designer purse raffle, featuring an array of purses donated by the community, the release states. Each raffle ticket represents a chance to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
United Way invites you to join them for an evening of celebration and giving back. Tables of eight are available for $600, which includes dinner, the raffle and a brief program. Individual tickets will also be available for purchase starting March 25.
"We believe that when women come together with a shared purpose, they have the power to create meaningful and lasting change," says Mandy Wilkie, United Way business development executive. "Power of the Purse is a unique opportunity for women to connect, celebrate their philanthropic spirit, and make a tangible difference in their community."
The release concludes, “Purchase your tickets online and get ready for an evening filled with camaraderie, excitement and the chance to win fabulous prizes, all while supporting a worthy cause.”
