ALTON - Allow us to put a brand new designer purse on your arm! Purses can empower. They are a symbol of economic independence, women’s uncanny ability to be prepared for anything from a sick child to a flood and her ability to pull off a fabulous, put-together, head-turning look. Since the YWCA is all about women’s empowerment, we want to celebrate the relationship between women and her purses by helping to find homes for 30 beautiful designer handbags and accessories.

The YWCA of Alton invites the Riverbend community to participate in the fourth annual fabulous Purse Raffle. A $10 donation will ensure that you are in the running for up to 30 purses and accessories. Tickets are on sale now through October 31, 2015. A designer item will be given away every day in November. If you win, your name goes back in the “hat” and will be eligible for other prizes. Of course, the more tickets you buy the more likely you are to take home a beautiful purse!
