Alliance for Period Supplies of SWFL 2026 Bloody Mary Brunch

Supporters of the Alliance for Period Supplies of SWFL gathered for the Third Annual Bloody Mary Brunch fundraiser this spring. They celebrated progress in the fight against period poverty. Guests enjoyed a vibrant brunch, signature cocktails, and meaningful conversation.

Beth Wipf, Health Services Director for Collier County Public Schools, highlighted the importance of providing free period products in schools—including elementary levels—noting that 1 in 4 women and girls struggle to afford these essentials, which are not covered by SNAP federal assistance program.

Her powerful stories brought the issue to life, leaving attendees inspired and motivated to continue the mission.

Gold and Platinum Sponsors of this event included: FineMark National Bank & Trust, a division of Commerce Bank, Laurie McCann, Gail McLachlan, Sara Werder, Kathryn Bettis, Sue Hay, Ellen Hoffman, Mary Kiely, and Dusti Beaubien.
