About this Event
The Power of the Purse was born to raise awareness and fund to support Branch County United Way effort to supply free books to area children from birth to age five through The Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Funds from this event go to cover the complete cost to families regardless of their income level. All additional funds raised go towards assisting the 26 agencies supported by BCUW which assist with education, income and health in our area. All funds stay local.
