Power of the Purse Fundraising Event Rasies Awareness and Funds for the Homeless

Traverse City, MI -- Dozens of people filled the Traverse City Opera House to help raise money for those in need Saturday.  The annual Power of the Purse fundraising event benefits the men, women and families at the Goodwill Inn in Traverse City.  Between a silent auction and donations being made, organizers hope to raise thousands from Saturday's event to go toward the program which provides emergency shelter to homeless adults and families during difficult times.  The event encourages people to look at what is in their purse and relate that to what might be in the bag of someone who is experiencing homelessness.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
