Power of Your Purse 2023
The LS26F Power of Your Purse event was a huge success! We raised close to $50,000 in donations, in-kind raffle prizes, refreshments and of course purses! 100% of the net profit from this event will be given directly to patients 26 and under struggling with pediatric cancer and life threatening illnesses.
We were honored to have one of our recipients, Sherynn Estrada, accompanied by her family, speak at our event and explain her journey. She was an eloquent speaker and we wish her the very best in her future goals.
A special thank you to the Summerfield HOA for hosting our event in their lovely clubhouse, Villa Sorrento of St James for their delicious food, Tenth and Pike Sweet Shoppe for the wonderful desserts, Clearvision and Fitness by Kobe for the lovely thank you bag items and Mid-Island Party Rentals for their equipment.
