Local animal charity holds purse fundraising event
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) — One local organization is looking to help fund its new facility after holding a purse raffle earlier today.
Animal Charity of Ohio held its first-ever Purses and Paws raffle event at its new location on Southern Boulevard in Boardman.
There were purse raffles for almost 30 designer bags, including Kate Spade, Michael Kors and Juicy Couture.
There were also chances to win basket raffles and Animal Charity merchandise you could buy.
Jane MacMurchy with Animal Charity of Ohio says the goal is to raise $1,000.
“We still have one million dollars worth of work left, but we’re hoping with every single event like this that we hold is going to continue to chip away at it,” Jane MacMurchy with the Animal Charity of Ohio said.
The grand opening for Animal Charity of Ohio’s new facility is scheduled for June 24.
