Power of the Purse

Save the Date for the Power of the Purse

The Power of the Purse 2020 Centennial Event will be held on Friday, December 6, 2019, 11:00 am – 1:30 pm, at The Ritz-Carlton, Naples.

Join us to kick off the 100th anniversary of the women’s right to vote, the ratification of the 19th amendment, and the women’s suffrage movement.

Come early to participate in the luxury handbag drawing sponsored by Waterside Shops, sip champagne, and socialize.  The program will feature a “Suffrage Roll Call” starting at noon.

This year the dynamic duo of Stacey Deffenbaugh and Allyson Richards return as event chair and vice chair, respectively. Allyson explained the significance of the luncheon. “The Power of the Purse is the signature annual fundraising event of the Women’s Foundation of Collier County whose mission is to alleviate unmet needs and empower women and girls in Collier County,” she said. “The Power of the Purse does more than raise funds.  We are partners in change, working with a broad range of organizations to make a difference, and you see that difference in the lives affected by these grants through their personal stories.  Our ability to positively affect the lives of local women and girls is what compels me to be a part of this event, and I am honored to co-chair with the fabulous Stacey Deffenbaugh.”

The Power of the Purse is presented by the Women’s Foundation of Collier County and is sponsored by Premier Sponsor – BMO Private Wealth Management and Luxury Handbag Sponsor – Waterside Shops.
