A one-of-a-kind fundraiser is planned for February 3, 2024 at the Hotel Captain Cook, with proceeds benefiting two deserving Alaska charities: the AK Hopes and Dreams Project and the Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association. The “Bag It Up” auction promises an evening of fun, music, and fabulous purses with a purpose. Guests may bid on unique handmade handbags, premade bags decorated by Alaskan artists, sports bags and handbags autographed by celebrities, and surprise bags that contain hidden treasures. The event will include a silent auction, raffle prizes, and opportunities for mingling.
