PurseOnalities 2026
Where Fashion Meets Philanthropy
For more than 15 years, PurseOnalities has been a beloved tradition bringing women together through fashion and purpose. The event features a legendary silent auction with must‑have designer handbags, stylish accessories, and indulgent self‑care packages—something for every taste.
Beyond the auction, enjoy an inspiring speaker, meaningful connections, and a fun, feel‑good atmosphere that leaves you energized and empowered.
Best of all, every ticket and bid directly supports children and youth served by Child Saving Institute (CSI). When you attend PurseOnalities, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re helping create brighter futures.
