SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier hosted their biggest fundraiser of the year on Thursday evening.
Around 800 local ladies attend the annual 'Designer Bag Bingo' at Sam's Town Casino and Hotel.
'Everything that we take in at this event goes right back to our community projects. And we have four that we were able to help in the community,' said Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier president Alex Person.
The four community projects are Active Kids, Artist for a Day, MAGIC: Mentoring Ambitious Girls to Inspire Change, and Red Apron Pantry.

Attendees played 10 rounds of bingo, where nine designer handbags valued at $300 per bag were awarded.
The final round featured the grand prize, a Louis Vuitton handbag.
The money raised supports the Junior League's volunteer efforts.
'It's very unique to our area. Women wait all year just to come and have a good time with their friends,' said Person. 'They get good food. They get good laughs, and they may even walk away with a designer bag.'
The Junior League of Shreveport-Bossier has been volunteering and making a difference in Shreveport-Bossier since 1933.
