Power of the Purse Fundraiser

 A signature event by 

Soroptimist of the Langleys 

What Is Power of the Purse?

A community fundraiser held in the Spring that blends  sustainable shopping, silent and live auctions, and F to support local women’s well-being. Guests enjoy a purse and jewelry sale, special auction items, and a fun dinner—all to raise funds and awareness for women and community health. 

Why It Matters

  •  Local Impact – Every dollar stays in Langley to support women and their families.
  • Community Spirit – A fun night that unites friends, donors, and volunteers.
  • Empowerment – Celebrating Soroptimist’s mission to uplift women and girls.

How the Event Works

  • Donations – Purses, handbags, jewelry, and more are generously given by community members and sponsors.
  • Shop & Bid – Guests browse treasures and bid on unique pieces in lively auctions.
  • Dinner & Connection – Enjoy a meal, drinks, and a festive night out with friends.
  • Stories That Inspire – Hear  how the funds are making a difference, with storytelling, silent auctions, or visual presentations. 

Benefiting Vital Community Projects

 

Proceeds from the 2025 event were raised to benefit the Whatever It Takes (WIT) Fund, managed by the Langley Community Health & Hospital Foundation. The WIT Fund helps fill critical gaps for patients who face financial or logistical barriers as they transition from hospital to home. It supports needs such as:

  • Transportation 
  • Home support services
  • Medication organization
  • Short-term practical assistance


By addressing these needs, the WIT Fund helps reduce hospital readmissions, preserve dignity, and promote smoother recovery.
