Old Bags™ for Forever Families Minimize
 
Old Bags™ is an annual fundraiser held on the fourth Tuesday of April by the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition.  The party features a silent auction of new and like-new designer handbags.  All proceeds are used to recruit foster and adoptive families for the over 5,000 children in Metro St. Louis who are waiting for a “forever family.” 
 
Attendees enjoy appetizers and drinks while bidding on hundreds of designer handbags, including Gucci, Chanel, Burberry, Kate Spade, Cole Haan, Coach, and more!

For more information on sponsorship or joining the 2010 Old Bags™Committee, please contact Debbie Genung, Director of Development at the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition, at 1.800.FOSTER.3 (314.367.8373) x38.

2009 Third Annual Old Bags™ Minimize
On Tuesday, April 28th, 300 guests attended a very successful Third Annual Old Bags™ Party at the St. Louis Zoo. They were greeted with a festive apple-tini and entered two floors of handbags.

Colette Boylen was the lucky winner of a beautiful new spring Coach bag hidden in one of the mystery bags! Chris Parnell was the BIG winner of the Old Bags™ raffle which was a week's stay at a beautiful condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama (donated by a Friend of the Coalition) and a straight-from-Paris Chanel tote bag full of Clarins Paris skincare products and classic Chanel sunglasses (donated by Saks Fifth Avenue).

The Zoo chef, Jerry Chollet, and his catering staff prepared a wonderful assortment of delicious appetizers. Chocolate sweets were generously donated by Lake Forest Confections.

Special thanks to all our donors, sponsors, volunteer friends, and guests. We especially thank the many women on the committee who dedicated countless hours to ensuring the success of Old Bags™ - lead by Co-chairs Laura Mazzarese and Jackie Olinger. The proceeds from Old Bags™ will be used to find homes for children in foster care. Thank you to everyone who made Old Bags™ a wonderful evening.
