Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine (LVIM) and Watson Clinic Foundation are reviving the once-popular purse party in Lakeland. Rebranded as Handbags for Hope, the event will be held at SpringHill Suites, 511 W. Lime St., this Wednesday, Nov. 11, with general admission starting at 6 p.m.
“Handbags for Hope promises to be an intimate evening to connect with others and support two wonderful causes all while enjoying music and art, fashion and fun,” said Alice Koehler, President & CEO of LVIM. “Proceeds raised will help ensure people in our community receive the care and support they need through LVIM and Watson Clinic Foundation programming. And, you could win an amazing handbag while you’re at it!”
The evening will include live music and art, light bites and drawings for luxury and designer handbags. Additionally, guests can shop a curated, pre-loved section.
General admission is $50. VIP admission is $75 and grants access at 5:00 p.m. with complimentary champagne, a chance to peruse purses and win an exclusive selection of bags. All entries include two drink tickets, with cash bar also available, and light bites.
Tickets to enter the purse drawings are sold separately and start at $25 for five entries.
