A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado is gearing up for annual fundraising banquets from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on four consecutive evenings at four locations: Friday, Jan. 26, Sterling Trinity Lutheran gymnasium; Saturday, Jan. 27, Phillips County Event Center; Sunday, Jan. 28, Yuma First Church of the Nazarene; and Monday, Jan. 29, Morgan County Event Center.
This year’s banquet theme “Bee Strong” features speaker Evie West, a woman who grew up as a gang member in Los Angeles, but who overcame huge obstacles in her life to choose life for her children. Evie’s choices changed the trajectory of her life. Overcoming the odds, Evie went on to graduate college and has served as a police officer in Tennessee for over 20 years.
“Women can Bee Strong,” says Roberta Bigalk, Executive Director of A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado. “Ergonomically, bees are not supposed to fly. But they don’t listen to science. Not only do they fly but they can carry twice their weight and they are essential for human life. Much like our moms who choose life! The cards may be stacked against them, but they can choose life and succeed!”
“Women can have their babies and dreams too. Abortion is not the only answer. Women facing an unplanned pregnancy need our support to make the decision that is right for them, and we want to be there for them, no matter what decision they make! Having served well over 300 women this past year shows us how valuable our organization is to the communities we serve in Northeastern Colorado.”
A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center is a 501 (c)3 non-profit with five locations in Yuma, Wray, Sterling, Holyoke and Brush providing no-cost and confidential pregnancy confirmation, STD Testing, Ultra sounds, lending closets and support services throughout Northeast Colorado.
All proceeds from the evening go directly to helping young mothers, students, babies, and families in Northeast Colorado.
