Shopping for a Good Cause at the Eastern Maine Medical Center


3

Bangor - Shopping can be fun, especially when it's for a good cause.

The Eastern Maine Medical Center Auxiliary hosted a handbag sale in Bangor. The event featured Bag Ali's 2012 summer collection, including purses, wallets, and briefcases.

Employees and guests shopped around for colorful bags and accessories. Even though the sale was about fashion, it's main focus was to fundraise.

Event organizers said 20% of Wednesday's proceeds will go to patient care for children with cancer at the Pediatric Oncology Floor at the Lafayette Family Cancer Center in Brewer.

The Auxiliary is also raising money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and scholarships for local nursing students.
