Power of the Purse
Tuesday October 10th, 2023 | 5-8p | Yakima Valley College Business Center
An evening of great food, great drinks, great company & fabulous purses! Power of the Purse includes a silent and live auction of fabulous purses and many other exciting items!
1 in 4 women experience domestic violence. Nearly all domestic violence cases include financial abuse. It’s one of the main reasons victims are unable to leave an abusive partner or have to return to one.
YWCA Yakima is committed to disrupting the cycle of relationship abuse. We provide survivors with the education and resources needed to achieve their potential again and equip young people with the information and confidence they need to help prevent unhealthy relationships before they start.
Power of the Purse supports Finacial Literacy, Education and Empowerment for Women and Children in the Yakima Valley. Guests will enjoy appetizers and a complimentary beverage as they have a first look at the evening’s purses. A silent auction, live auction, and cash bar will entice and delight attendees!
