VENDORS GIVE-BACK! 3rd Annual Designer Bag Bingo
Where fun, fashion, and fundraising come together!

As we approach our 2026 Designer Bag Bingo Fundraiser, we are proud to announce our curated list of featured vendors and encourage patronage.

Each vendor will be donating 20% of their total sales back to United Way's Quality of Life Program. The program provides viable resources to women and children in our Madison County communities.

Our featured vendors are The Brand Thrift & Boutique, Candys Candles (candyscandles.com), Salted Earth Handmade Purses (salted.earth), and J & C Local Farms (jandclocalfarms.com).

Our premier vendor is Kendra Scott (kendrascott.com), a national jewelry brand that has grown from a small Austin-based startup into a $1 billion company. The Kendra Scott brand is committed to supporting initiatives that empower women and youth in the areas of health and wellness, education, and entrepreneurship.

We are grateful for each one of them. They are part of something that is bigger than we all know. Changing lives. Making impact. Lasting change.

Thank you from all of us at United Way of Madison County in Huntsville Alabama

THE IMPACT WE MAKE TOGETHER
2026 Designer Bag Bingo Fundraiser Only Days Away!

Today’s interview with Mariah Wiggs and Ben Smith of WHNT News 19 highlighted the upcoming 2026 Designer Bag Bingo Fundraiser and the impact it will have on our community. The segment spotlighted local business owner and caterer Irving Hernandez of Hops N Guac, who shared how this year’s menu and presentation will help create a more elevated guest experience.

Irving was joined by Rachel Stinson Shaw, United Way of Madison County Board Member and Chair-Elect, who emphasized the importance of community support, volunteerism, and local partnerships in making the event successful. Together, they shared how proceeds support United Way’s Quality of Life program, which benefited more than 65,000 women and children in Madison County last year.
