WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WI — United Way of South Wood & Adams Counties' Women United is proud to announce the 2026 Power of the Purse event, taking place on March 10th from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM at Bullseye Golf Club.
The event brings community members together for an evening of networking, pasta buffet, raffles, and a silent auction featuring designer purses. A cash bar will be available for guests as they browse the auction items. 
All proceeds from the event directly benefit local literacy programs and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, a program that fosters a lifelong love of reading by mailing a free, high-quality book every month to registered children living in south Wood and Adams Counties from birth to age five, at no cost to the families.
“We are excited to continue to offer this great event and hope that you will join us!" said Tari Jahns, United Way CEO and Women United member.
Tickets are $40 per person in advance at uwswac.org/power-purse or $45 at the door.
