The Purple Purse Challenge

The YWCA of Palm Beach County has been chosen for the fourth consecutive year to participate in the Allstate Foundation’s 2015 Purple Purse Challenge, an online fundraising competition to benefit domestic violence survivors.

 

The Challenge begins on Thursday, October 1st at 12:00 noon ET and runs through Tuesday, October 27th at 1:59:59 p.m. ET.   All donations must be made online in order for the YWCA to qualify for the Challenge and additional donations from Allstate.

 

To assist the YWCA in raising funds for the Mary Rubloff YWCA Harmony House, a 72-bed shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic violence, go to www.crowdrise.com/ywca7 and follow the simple instructions.  You may donate to either the YWCA’s main page or to one of its fundraising partners, all of whom are listed on the main YWCA page.  THE MINIMUM DONATION IS $10.

 

Any person donating a cumulative total of $100 during the campaign earns one entry into a drawing for a purple purse designed by Kerry Washington.

We truly appreciate the support of the community.
