An Evening to Support Women Lifting Up Other Women
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Power of the Purse. Because of your support, we’re able to continue investing in programs that uplift women and children across Middlesex County. We’re especially grateful to our presenting sponsor, Middlesex Health, and to the many donors and partners who made the evening possible.
