2025 Celebration of Life Banquet

March 13, 2025

KC Hall, Highland IL

6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Please join us on Thursday, March 13, 2025, for our annual Celebration of Life Banquet, the largest fundraiser of the year.

The funds we raise that night go directly into the center to help us build relationships with those facing and unplanned pregnancy and keep all our services free of charge. By attending and donating to this event YOU are making a difference in the lives of those facing an unplanned pregnancy and helping them choose life for their baby.

Just like one of our client’s this year, who I will call Katy. When Katy came to the center she was seeking to have an abortion because of her current situation, but after support and an ultrasound she chose life for her little one. Katy recently came in with her her almost nine month old baby. After talking with her for awhile I asked if she was glad she chose to parent her baby. Katy said, “I can’t imagine my life without my baby and all his smiles and giggles.” She went on to share that her son is the one who has really helped her make it through some of the rough times. Katy said, “Yes, I’m glad I chose to have my baby.” This is how your support is helping to make a huge difference in the lives of those we work with.
