Proceeds from this event benefit United Way of Western Kentucky and Paducah Professional Women. The event was established in 2015 to honor Women's Equal Pay Day and aims to bring awareness to the pay gap between men and women.

Each designer purse in the online auction is stuffed with surprises that range from jewelry to spa certificates and much more.
