Purses for a Purpose is On…with a Twist!
The SW Walk to End Alzheimer s fundraiser, Purses with a Purpose is going to look a bit different this year. I guess that can be said for just about everything in the year 2020.
Last year s event was a huge success with a fun round of Bingo, winner s winning purses, with purses available for purchase as well. However, because of social distancing restrictions this year, there won t be any in-person event, but that hasn t stopped the ladies involved with the SW Walk!
This year you will be able to purchase a raffle ticket for a $20 donation for your chance to win a Louis Vuitton handbag or a bag. The winner will be announced on January 2, 2021. You can contact any of the following committee members to purchase your raffle ticket or tickets:
The Alzheimerâs Association of Southwest Oklahoma is hosting the 2nd annual âPurses for a Purposeâ this month in an effort to close its fundraising gap.
The event was first held in 2019 and is the brainchild of Natalie Fitch and Bridget Randle. Both women have had loved ones affected by the disease and have been working with The Alzheimerâs Association of Southwest Oklahoma to raise money for a cure.
The Lawton Walk to End Alzheimerâs, which is held annually, sets a fundraising goal each year. Fitch and Randle created âPurses for a Purposeâ as a way to make up the deficit. Last yearâs inaugural event was such a success they brought it back this year.
