Proceeds from the event will help fund innovative programs in Lawrence Township Public Schools.

Over 300 women of Mercer County attended the event in 2011 which raised over $10,000 for LTEF.  This year’s event will feature high-end designer handbags from Coach, Kate Spade and Diane von Furstenberg to name a few.

Tickets go on sale beginning tomorrow, Feb. 1, and can be purchased through the LTEF website (www.ltefnj.org).  Last year’s event was a sell-out success and event organizers urge anyone considering attending to purchase tickets early.
