Purple Purse Winners Announced!
Benjamin Bethel helps draw the winning tickets for the Purple Purse Challenge, Oct. 28, at Options Thrift Shoppe, 968 Second Avenue North in Naples.
The month-long Allstate Foundation Purple Purse Challenge has come to an end with The Shelter coming in at 26 out of 200 agencies from throughout the country. Thanks to you, our final tally was $8,366 and we won two Allstate Foundation challenges that will add additional funds to that amount.
This was the first time The Shelter has been selected to participate in the Purple Purse Challenge, an online fundraiser coordinated through Crowdrise. Proceeds donated on our Crowdrise page will go to The Shelter.
As part of the fundraiser, The Shelter conducted a drawing for three purple purses, including one designed by actress and Purple Purse spokeswoman Kerry Washington. The drawing was conducted on Oct. 28 at Options Thrift Shoppe. Winners did not have to be present to win. They include:
- Kate Klaus – Kate Spade purse
- Jan Patterson – Michael Kors purse
- Deborah Gontier – Kerry Washington
Thank you to everyone who supported this new fundraiser and all of the various fund and awareness raising events throughout the month of October!
