The Marshalltown Area United Way and Power of the Purse committee, along with venue partner Midnight Garden, is planning an enjoyable and elegant event to raise money for our yearly campaign.
The evening, featuring sparkling beverages and hors d’oeuvres, raises funds and awareness for our 27 partner agencies in Marshall County. Last year, Power of the Purse raised over $39,000 for our annual campaign! Purses and additional in-kind items, including gift cards, jewelry, wine and much more, will be paired together for Live & Silent Auction bidding. General admission is $60 per person and a reserved table of 8 is $550! Click below to make your reservation!
Huge thanks to Hellberg's Jewelers for donating the beautiful 14K gold pendant with 1/4 carat diamond valued at $1,250 for our RAFFLE- get your tickets now, and make your reservations to be there when we draw the winner! Stop by Hellberg's to see the pendant in person and to buy your tickets. One raffle ticket for $10 or purchase 5 tickets and get a free raffle ticket! All proceeds benefit the Marshalltown Area United Way's Power of the Purse event and brings us that much closer to the $50,000 we need to get MAUW Board Member Zach Tomesch to shave his head! Winner will be drawn at the end of the event on October 10, need not be present to win. Tickets can also be purchased at the MAUW office or click below to purchase by Venmo
Our goal this year is to continue the growth trend of attendees and auction sales, which will support the 2024-2025 annual campaign goal of $900,000. All proceeds benefit the 27 partner agencies and 30 programs for the 12,000 individuals served in Marshall County.
The Power of the Purse Committee is also seeking individuals and organizations for sponsorships and donation of purses or other in-kind items to fill purses for the live and silent auctions at Marshalltown Area United Way’s annual Power of the Purse Event.
