Tickets are now on sale for PURSEonality

Dress for Success SW Florida is pleased to announce tickets are now on sale for the inaugural PURSEonality event, Wednesday, March 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Center Court in the Bell Tower Shops. That organization is joining forces with Blessings in a Backpack to present one spectacular evening to support the two organizations, which promote the economic independence of women and provide for the nutritional needs of children, respectively.

Dr. Patrick Flaharty and Azul Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa has stepped up as Title Sponsor for the event, which will feature an auction of celebrity-owned and luxury designer handbags, the opportunity to shop for designer handbags, a Chinese auction of fabulous items donated by event sponsors and vendors—including an original painting by renowned local artist Leoma Lovegrove valued at $1,000—a cash bar and more. There’s plenty of fun in store for the guys, too, at a designated “Man Cave” for the evening. VIP sponsors will enjoy early entry at 5:30 p.m.

Hundreds of gently used handbags and purses to be sold at the event have already been collected at parties leading up to the big night, and more can be dropped off at the following locations through March 13:

Dress for Success SW Florida relies on donations and volunteers from the Southwest Florida community to help continue its life-changing mission of providing wardrobes, employment counseling and career development tools to disadvantaged women in the area.

Both organizations are grateful to the sponsorship support of Dr. Flaharty and Azul Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Spa, along with Bell Tower Shops, Six-Bends Harley-Davidson, Florida Academy, Leoma Lovegrove and CONRIC PR & Marketing | Publishing.
