Our First Posture, Purses & Prosecco event was a HUGE success!
Our first annual Posture, Purses and Prosecco event
on March 27, 2014, successfully raised $2,320 for the Junior League of the
Emerald Coast (JLEC)!
This spring preview took place at the Regatta Chiropractic and Laser Center office of Dr. Shawna
Hogan located in the heart of Destin in Regatta Commons across from the Destin
Area Chamber of Commerce. Over one hundred women in the community attended and
enjoyed wine tastings by Deliver my Wine, hors d’oeuvres by Elephant Walk, and
live music by Bo Adams. Local designer consignment boutique LuxExchange displayed
an impressive array of designer handbags, wallets and jewelry that were available
for purchase with a portion of proceeds benefiting Junior League.
“It was such a wonderful opportunity to sip, shop and socialize
while raising money for such a wonderful cause,” stated Dr. Hogan. “My practice
has a special interest in the care of expectant mothers and children, so working
with the Junior League was a great way to convey that message to the local
women in the area.“
The event also included complimentary chair massages with
Orlando Branch, voted “Best Massage Therapist” by the readers of Destin Magazine.
Ladies also enjoyed exploring a sizeable silent auction with packages valued
over $1,000. Greeted with a customized wine glass of prosecco and presented
with a goody bag upon departure, ladies were pleased with the outcome of the
event.
“The Junior League of the Emerald Coast is dedicated to
making a difference in the lives of children and women in our local communities
through volunteering and special projects,” stated Molly Carter, JLEC’s Vice
President of Communications. “We are so grateful to businesses like Regatta
Chiropractic and Laser Center and LuxExchange for sharing this vision and
supporting our endeavors.”
Given the success of the first annual Posture, Purses and
Presecco, it is hoped that next year’s event will provide an opportunity to
greatly surpass this year’s funds raised for the Junior League of the Emerald
Coast. The next Posture, Purses and Prosecco event will take place spring of
2015.
