Power of the Purse

"As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled." -- Victor Hugo

The hearts fill to overflowing as hundreds of women gather each fall to support CEDARS kids through our Power of the Purse event.

This year, as we celebrate 10 years of Power of the Purse, we are planning an extraordinary evening featuring more purses than ever before and a new venue with plenty of space for all the new bags- and more friends!

Special volunteers spend months “bagging” unique purses for our exclusive and very festive event. One-of-a-kind handbags, some designed by international designers and others chosen with everyday use in mind, tempt those in attendance to bid at both silent and live auctions.

Victor Hugo’s observation—“as the purse is emptied, the heart is filled”—reminds us of the joy of caring for others. Open your purse to give, and you’ll discover far more satisfaction than you’ve ever known!

Power of the Purse 2013 will be held on Thursday, November 7 at the Cornhusker Marriott. Will you join us for this unique event?
