The scholarships are awarded to students pursuing a higher education who have participated in CSI programs. This year's recipients of the $2,500 scholarship were Caleb Nichols and Dillon Rucker. The event honored two of Omaha's most charitable philanthropists: Andrea "Andy" Hoig and Melissa Marvin. They earned the title of "PurseOnalities" and served as honorary chairmen for the event.

Highlights included guest speaker Joanna L. Krotz, author of Town & Country's "The Guide to Intelligent Giving" and a silent auction featuring over 65 designer purse packages. Chairmen for the event were Jaclyn Jandric, Kari Nelson, and Carmen Smith.
