"Deasy PTA fundraises for many events for our pre-k though second graders including cultural arts programs, outreach, PARP, year end picnics and graduations and scholarships," said Janice LaRocca, president of the Deasy School PTA. "We often look for new and exciting ways to fundraise where people are already willing to spend their money on quality items."

LaRocca adds that despite the name, the event is not only for women. She says the invitation is for everyone and is a good place to get a local gift for your wife or daughter.

A percentage of the purchases go directly to the Deasy PTA.  

"This idea came to us as a way to not only raise money for the PTA but also as way to give mom's, their sisters and friends a fun way to shop all their favorites in one place,  and give local direct sales representatives business that night and hopefully future business with booking parties and possibly signing up new sales reps," LaRocca said.
