The 8th annual Purses & Pumps for Pooches & Pals event is Thursday, June 20 at the Humane Society of Missouri.

Each year, more than 400 professional women come out to enjoy a fun evening of networking, cocktails, hors d'ouevres and a designer purse and shoe raffle. This year's items include items from Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Coach, with more being added every week!

Proceeds benefited the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Fund.

All proceeds from Purses for Pooches and Pals benefit the Animal Cruelty Fund, dedicated to investigating, healing and preventing animal abuse.
