ubbed “the best girl’s night out in town,”
Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition’s signature
Hope in a Handbag fundraiser was recently
held at the Hilton St. Louis Frontenac. Guests
browsed through dozens of designer handbags
for bidding, while enjoying specialty drinks, chocolates and
appetizers. All proceeds benefit the organization’s mission to
find a forever family for every child in foster care.
