The YWCA Central Alabama’s 13th Annual Purse & Passion Luncheon will be held on Thursday, April 19, 2012. The 2011 luncheon posted record numbers with more than 1,400 women and men from all over the region attended with one goal in mind: to raise money for the critical programs of the YWCA. The luncheon raised over $540,000 with donations coming from guests who were inspired and motivated by stories of hope and transformation from those whose lives have been touched by the YWCA. Guests at the luncheon witnessed amazing stories of hope and triumph featuring two families that have benefited from the YW’s array of shelter and child care services, as well as YWoodlawn.
