Hosted by the North Myrtle Beach Woman’s Club, Purses with Purpose raised $50,000 last year with 300 ladies in attendance. The money goes to charitable organizations with a focus on supporting women, children and youth in need. An exciting live auction is the main event with purses in the past donated by celebrities including Vanna White, Dolly Parton and Jennifer Garner. All purses are modeled by local male celebrities.  Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, 8121 Amalfi Place. Thursday, 6 p.m. $60. (843) 450-4001, www.northmyrtlebeachwomansclub.com
