Throughout the year the Power of the Purse Fund sponsors opportunities for members to meet to learn more about philanthropic opportunities in the West Georgia region. All members are invited to the annual spring luncheon as well as another event in the late summer or fall focused on fundraising. In addition to membership pledges, the Power of the Purse Fund raises funds by sponsoring an event annually like Steel Magnolias. These events are designed to be fun for members and participants in addition to raising funds.
