The guest speaker was Mia Jackson, an accomplished comedian and Columbus native. Mia's performance was women-centered, funny, and enjoyable. Everyone appreciated having a few laughs as well as sharing a wonderful meal with friends.   

"We are delighted to be able to meet in person for the 10th annual Power of the Purse!” said Marie Miller, 2022 chair of Women United. “It is a privilege to serve the women and girls in our community through the Women United programs that are funded through this event” she added. 

Funds raised during the Power of the Purse directly benefit women and girls in the valley through programs and scholarships. Most notably is the "Wear One, Bring One" initiative in which undergarments are collected at the event. These undergarments are then shared with United Way partners who serve those in need. By participating in the Power of the Purse, attendees know they are making an impact and sharing in the vision of "Women Helping Women."
