Power of the Purse Event to Support Early Childhood Literacy Programs

Power of the Purse is an exciting event that brings together women from throughout southwest Minnesota with a commitment to our youngest learners. All money raised will be used for local initiatives that help effectively prepare young children in our area for kindergarten. Proceeds from this event support efforts such as Imagination Library, Wild About Kindergarten Bags, 1000 Books Before Kindergarten and more!

The evening includes: fabulous purses, silent auction, delicious food, ladies' night out and an investment in early childhood education! The 2016 Power of the Purse event is scheduled for 6:00pm on Tuesday, April 26th at the Ramada Inn, Marshall.

With your support, Women United for Early Childhood will continue to make a difference in the lives of children and families living in Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Yellow Medicine and portions of Cottonwood, Lac qui Parle, Nobles and Redwood counties of Minnesota.  Now, more than ever, we need to invest in our youngest citizens!

Tickets are $40 and a table of eight can be purchased for $320. There are a limited amount of tables for ten available for $400. Seating is limited. Tickets can be purchased online at www.UnitedWaySWMN.org or by calling the United Way of Southwest Minnesota office at 507-929-2273. Silent auction items can be previewed on the website or on the Power of the Purse 2016 event page located on the United Way of Southwest Minnesota Facebook page.
