We are excited to announce that Handbag Bingo 2026 is set for Sunday, January 25 at Frederica Golf Club, and this year’s event will feature a very special guest, Elyce Arons.

Elyce is the cofounder of one of the most iconic American fashion brands, Kate Spade, and is now the CEO of Frances Valentine, a joyful and beloved lifestyle brand known for its bright colors, timeless handbags, and creative spirit. She is also the author of the new memoir We Might Just Make It After All, a story about friendship with Kate Spade, courage, creativity, and finding hope during life’s hardest moments.

We are honored to welcome her to the Golden Isles for a fun afternoon celebrating style, community, and purpose.

Guests will enjoy several rounds of bingo with designer handbags as prizes, a Frances Valentine trunk show in partnership with Planter’s Exchange, a designer handbag silent auction, and an inspiring message of friendship, creativity, and resilience from Elyce – all in support of Safe Harbor’s programs for children and families in crisis.
