"In the Bag" Auction of Designer Handbags Supports Red Cross

Launched in 2010, "In the Bag" is an annual charity event to support the Red Cross of the National Capital Region. On November 1st, 2013, our women's committee will auction off designer, vintage and celebrity pocketbooks to help fund the vital services provided by Red Cross to our community. These services include disaster relief, first aid training and assistance to our military families. Starting in 2010, we collected 55 purses; 104 people attended our event and we raised $20,000 for the Red Cross. In 2011, we collected 110 purses; 250 people attended our event and we raised $66,000. Last year, 2012, we collected 148 purses, 226 attended our event and we raised $97,000 for the Red Cross. This year - our goal is to raise $125,000. Please join us!
