Logan County Professionals host fundraiser for Moms Who Care May 7th

 

[April 28, 2022] 

The Logan County Professionals are hosting a new kind of fundraiser auction for the Moms Who Care organization. The Purses for a Purpose fundraiser auction will be held on Saturday, May 7th, at the Lincoln Banquet Center. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The live auction will start at 7 p.m. At 9 p.m., the dance floor will be opened with a local disk jockey on hand to keep the music and fun going.

The fundraiser will include an admission cost at the door. Inside, guests will enjoy appetizers, a signature drink, a live auction of designer purses filled with goodies, and the chance to enter a raffle for a great prize.

The purse auction will include upscale designer purses, book bags, wallets, or totes filled with goodies, including items given by local businesses or gift cards for local businesses.

Moms Who care was started in 2017 by Cindy Aussieker and Marla Williams at Lincoln Community High School. The two moms recognized that once students reach a certain age, community support programs don't fully realize that these young people have unique needs that toys and coats cannot fill.

The ladies put together a 'pantry' effort for students that supplies them with personal hygiene items, school supplies, snacks, and clothing items. Students are "qualified" to use the pantry through school personnel's recommendations, such as school nurses, counselors, or administrators.

Since its inception, Moms Who Care has expanded its mission to serve students of Lincoln Junior High School, Chester-East Lincoln school, West Lincoln-Broadwell, and LCHS.
