illi News/10282551

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Join us at the 10th Annual Benefit Party for 100 Pretty Purses for Female Veterans 501(c)3 on December 14, 2024, in Frankfort, IL, where we're celebrating a decade of transforming the lives of women veterans while raising awareness, donations, and essentials for those who've served.

This year, we're not only honoring 2,000 women whose lives have been impacted since 2015 but also gathering in-kind and financial support to fill 2,000 more bags with essential items and symbols of hope for veterans in need.

Led by U.S. Army Veteran Yvette Jones-Swanson, 100 Pretty Purses has dedicated itself to confronting issues women veterans face today—from homelessness to period poverty. With each purse filled, we offer more than just essentials; we give a message of solidarity and hope to women veterans who may feel overlooked. In addition to filling purses for those attending, donations will help us continue distributing bags to women veterans across Chicagoland who need them most.

Supporters can contribute by purchasing items directly from our Amazon Wish List or by making a financial donation. Each gift brings us closer to our goal of delivering 2,000 bags of vital items and resources that make a meaningful difference.

"Every filled purse is a gesture of compassion and recognition," says Jones-Swanson. "This year's celebration is a time to honor all women veterans, from those serving now to those who have paved the way, especially as Tyler Perry's film 6888 brings renewed attention to the overlooked contributions of women of color in the military."

Join us to celebrate, honor, and make an impact. Help us reach our goal by donating a purse or buying essential items directly from our Amazon list.
