Sylvia O’Stayformore, Purr owner Barbie Humphrey and promoter Art Ruiz at the Purr “Thank You For Being A Friend!” fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation on Tuesday night.
Great turn out for Tuesday night’s Golden Girls themed event at Purr! About 150 people showed up to support the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and watch some classic moments from eveyone’s favorite sitcom, The Golden Girls. The raffle raised $450 for the Susan G Foundation, which had special meaning for many attending the event.
Art Ruiz, the event creator said, “I wanted to do something to celebrate Barbie’s recent struggles. [Editor’s Note: Purr owner Barbie Humphrey has been battling the disease, which she has frequently posted about on her Facebook page.]She gives so much back to the community. The House of Purr is always open to support causes on the Hill”.
Hostess Sylvia O’Stayformore commented, “It was a good cause and I am happy to support Barbie!”. We were also desperate to know who Sylvia was wearing, and she told us: “Goodwill Puyallup, for all of you fashionistas!”.
Sylvia and Barbie announce the raffle winner…they got the 25th Anniversary Golden Girl’s DVD set that came in a replica of Sophia’s wicker purse.
