Values that unite us
The 2017 edition of the campaign was a great success and generated excitement among the public. This year we are aiming bigger! The Montreal Women’s Y Foundation is proud to partner with YWCA Quebec and with Epiderma as the lead sponsor of the My Bag is Yours campaign to help women, girls and their families.
My Bag is Yours in three parts
GIVE… a handbag
Several women from the business community of the Greater Montreal and Quebec City will take on the role of ambassadors to support the campaign by collecting designer handbags and funds for the campaign.
Until June 20, 2018, it is possible to donate a designer handbag (with a brand-new value of more than $300) by dropping it off at any of the 23 Epiderma locations.
In addition, Sonia Cordeau, our spokesperson, along with various Quebec public figures will have the opportunity to showcase the campaign throughout the province.
To participate, you can give a handbag or make a donation.
“I am extremely proud to be part of this great initiative and help women from all walks of life build a better future for themselves.”
– Sonia Cordeau, spokeperson
BUY… a handbag
The handbag, a great symbol of femininity, which has the power to change a life…
The collected designer handbags will then be sold on an online auction that will be held from June 13 to June 20, 2018. Each woman, having generously donated a handbag for the auction, will be invited to write a personal note about the history of the bag, which will be inserted in each handbag.
HELP… woman from all walks of life to build a better future for themselves!
Any purchase or donation of a purse for the campaign is a sign of solidarity towards another woman, and all the funds raised will support the programs and services offered at the YWCA of Montreal and Quebec, which are designed to build a better future for woman and girls.
The handbag
The handbag is both a useful accessory and a vibrant symbol of femininity. For women from all walks of life, the purse, eternal object of desire, is more than a mere accessory; it tells a story. It is said that its size, color and design are indicative of the personality, mood and social status of its owner. A handbag carries love and memories. It’s a journey in the intimacy of a woman. The act of buying or giving a purse to help other women takes on all its meaning!
