Our next Purses with Purpose is April 25, 2026 raising funds for our branch scholarship fund for two years.

Scholarships serve the Stanwood, Camano Island, Arlington, Lakewood and La Conner communities.

Due to the generosity of our community, our AAUW branch also supports camperships for entering 8th grade girls from the Stanwood, Camano Island, Arlington, and Lakewood middle school girls to attend the AAUW Tech Trek week-long resident science camp in July. Girls experience living in the dorms of a Seattle university, hands-on science, field trips, and presentations by women in science during the evening program.

Proceeds also cover our yearly contribution to the AAUW national organization.

Watch for the updated photo gallery of photos from this year’s event and the list of 2026 community donors.
