✨ What an incredible night! ✨
The 10th Annual Power of the Purse fundraiser was a huge success, raising over $101,000 for United Way of Midland’s 2025 Innovative Grants! The event featured: 8 rounds of bingo to win designer handbags, shopping, a wine pull, Louis Vuitton purse raffle, and more! A special congratulations to Mayor Lori Blong, honored with the 2025 Women’s United Award.
We are so thankful for all of the sponsors, attendees, vendors, underwriters, and of course the POP committee, for making this event possible. These funds will help bring creative, impactful solutions to life right here in Midland. You can view the event photo gallery here. Your generosity is truly making a difference in our community. 💛
Stay connected with us on social media as we announce the 2025 Innovative Grant recipients in the coming weeks. And mark your calendars for our 11th Annual Event: Tuesday, October 27th, 2026! 🎉
