Dress for Success Orillia and Barrie is holding its first-ever virtual Power of the Purse fundraiser this weekend.
The fifth annual event gives guests a chance to bid on one-of-a-kind and designer purses, unique experiences and more.
The silent auction items are open for bidding right now, and three spectacular live auction items are currently available for preview and will open for bidding during the event tomorrow.
The three live auction items include a luxury Prince Edward County getaway/wine experience, a Strathberry handbag, and a catered dinner for six from Chopped Canada champion and owner of Eclectic Cafe, Melanie Robinson.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. Jan. 30 and will feature a warmup performance from comedian, activist and Barrie local Andrea Murray.
Also performing at the virtual fundraiser is Tabitha Johnson, a talented 24-year-old classical pianist from Barrie.

The proceeds from the Power of the Purse fundraiser will go toward running Dress for Success Orillia and Barrie’s three programs that provide a network of support to women who are entering or re-entering the workforce. The organization’s aim is to help local women thrive in work and in life via the programs.
