2025 Power of the Purse!

Wow, we had the most amazing great evening! Power of the Purse was held April 24, 2025 at the LRS Airport Hangar in Springfield.

Enjoy a few photos from this most important evening of fundraising and friendship to support MERCY families.

Special thank you goes to Presenting Sponsor and wonderful venue LRS Hangar host: Levi Ray and Shoup.

And to Prada sponsors: Spavia Day Spa Springfield, Doctors Pradeep & Manjula Mehta, and to PNC Bank for being a Hermes Birkin Level Sponsor — among many other generous sponsors and supporters.

And thank you to White House Black Market for your beautiful work styling the mannequins for our Annual Power of the Purse fundraiser, setting the stage for a most meaningful event, dedicated to ending the crisis of family homelessness. Because of partnerships like these, we are able to make a bigger impact and bring hope to families in need.

Thank you, also, to everyone who bought Saint Laurent raffle tickets. Congrats to the YSL winner, Gwen Giganti!

And thank you to our supporters, our sponsors, our volunteers, our staff and our friends. What an amazing turnout we had for the 7th annual Power of the Purse fundraiser in support of MERCY Communities, where we foster the independence of homeless and at-risk families by providing supportive housing and the life skills needed to become self-sufficient. We could not do it without you!
