Powerful Purses, Inc., a 501(c)(3) charity organization dedicated to empowering birth mothers from Gladney Adoption Center through education and support, is excited to announce its annual Fundraising Event & Silent Auction. The event will take place on April 17, 2024, at the Fort Worth Club, known for its rich history and commitment to excellence in food and service.
Deborah Ferguson, NBC5 TODAY Anchor, will grace the event as the Master of Ceremonies, bringing her charm and wit to the forefront of this much-anticipated gathering. The highlight of the event will be the inspiring stories of the scholars supported by Powerful Purses. One of these stories is that of Kasi, a birth mother from Gladney and scholarship recipient, who credits the Powerful Purses scholarship as a life-changing force in her academic journey. The scholarship covered her classes, books, and provided extra for food, significantly easing her financial burden and allowing her to pursue her Bachelor’s Degree in Evolutionary Medicine.
The Silent Auction will offer attendees the opportunity to bid on a variety of exclusive items and experiences, both in-person and online. The event will commence at 10:30 AM, providing guests ample time for networking and exploring the silent auction items. Attendees are encouraged to arrive on time to fully engage with local business leaders and community members in a vibrant networking environment.
This event is not just a fundraiser; it is an opportunity to deepen understanding of Powerful Purses’ impact on the community. Guests will have the chance to learn about the scholars supported by the organization and the transformative work being undertaken to empower women through education, mentoring, and networking opportunities.
Sponsorship opportunities are now available, and the Sponsorship Committee will assist businesses with a level that will provide them with a variety of advertising opportunities. Net proceeds from the event will fund Powerful Purse’s mission to provide college-level scholarships and special programs for mentoring and networking.
