What is Designer Purse Bingo?
An elegant venue, fully catered appetizers, designer handbags up for grabs, and an evening that benefits a cause that matters. That's Designer Purse Bingo.
Guests play ten rounds of bingo for the chance to win a designer handbag every single round. Past winners have gone home with bags from Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Kate Spade, Coach, and more. It's a night of fun, friendly competition, and real connection with people who love a great purse and a great cause.
Each ticket includes:
Two bingo cards per round across all ten rounds of bingo
Fully catered appetizers and one drink ticket
A night out that directly supports inclusive health education for young Iowans
A chance to win a designer handbag every single round
All proceeds benefit EyesOpenIowa, a West Des Moines-based nonprofit with nearly 30 years of experience empowering young people and families through high-quality, medically accurate sexual health education. EyesOpenIowa works with communities across Iowa to ensure young people have the knowledge and skills to make healthy, informed decisions.
