Sixteen celebrities have donated their handbags to raise money for a cancer support group in Seattle. Purses owned and autographed by the stars will be sold in Gilda’s Club of Seattle’s annual Bags & Bottles auction next month.
The altruistic celebs involved include Carol Burnett, Olivia Newton John, Tina Fey, Sharon Osbourne, and Scarlett Johansson. One of the most unique bags to be sold will come from glass artist Dale Chihuly, who has decorated a purse especially for the event.
Gilda’s Club of Seattle is a meeting place where people living with cancer and their families and friends can come together for emotional support and social interaction. Its Bags & Bottles event will also feature shopping opportunities from Seattle’s most popular bag stores, a silent auction, and wine tasting. Guests are encouraged to bring a new or barely used handbag to donate to the silent auction.
Bags & Bottles will be held from 4 to 7 pm on March 14 at Seattle’s Westin Hotel. Tickets are available for $40 from the Gilda’s Glub of Seattle website.
