We want your purse(s)

January 19, 2026

The Circle Education is preparing for their triennial fundraiser: the online Purse Auction ‘Purses with Purpose’. This online auction will take place mid-April, and we are currently at the stage of collecting pre-loved and new purses, satchels, tote bags and backpacks.

Do you have a high-quality, new or lightly used purse that you once loved but are no longer using? Or did you get one as a present, but it is not quite your style? Consider donating them to our Purse Auction. All proceeds will go to The Circle Education’s In-School Programs.

The Circle Education has been providing social-emotional programming in our school district for almost thirty years. Our curriculum equips children and youth with tools to communicate respectfully, be empathetic, and build healthy relationships; all the way from elementary school through high school.  

The purses in our auction symbolize the practical toolkits that our programs help participants build - stocked with essentials for healthy relationships with self and others - for when they head out into the world to study, travel, or work.

Do you have a purse that you are willing to donate? Purses can be dropped off at our office (100 – 125B Rainbow Road) on Tuesday and Thursday morning between 9 am and 1 pm. Or email us at [email protected] to set up other arrangements
