Russell Medical to host Purses for a Purpose

Designer handbags, gourmet pizza and pajamas will be the order of the day at a special Purses with a Purpose event on Oct. 5 as the Russell Medical Foundation strives to raise funds for new medical equipment. Submitted / The Outlook

What do designer handbags, gourmet pizza, pajamas and airplane hangars have in common? Combined, they are the perfect ingredients to cook up a fabulous ladies night out. Join Russell Medical Thursday, Oct. 5 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for a fun-filled evening as we raffle off designer handbags, raise awareness and show our girlfriends that when it comes to breast cancer, no one fights alone.

Purses for a Purpose, an evening benefit for UAB Medicine 3–Russell Medical Cancer Center, is set for Alexander City Airport. Guests are asked to wear their best pajamas (yes, you read that correctly…it’s so trendy now, and let’s face it, fun), dine on gourmet pizza from Lake Martin Pizza Kitchen, sip your favorite wine or beer from Ocie & Belles and purchase chances to win designer handbags.
