'Life is an Adventure' Fall Banquet Recap
Our hearts are simply overflowing and we Praise God for how He worked through His people and touched hearts. Thank you to everyone who attended our Fall Banquet event on Tuesday, October 17th. Around 300 people gathered to support life and families in our community. Matt Hammitt's message brought so much encouragement to put our love into action. You all did just that.
Thanks to our community minded sponsors (businesses/churches) and several generous underwriters a little over $25,000 was raised prior to the event that took care of all Banquet expense-- leaving us with an unprecedented head start to reach our goal of $50,000. A goal we prayed over, because we took big steps of faith to expand our staff and our Shelbina center hours to be open every Monday. This goal was put into place to support two centers doing life saving work in Macon and Shelby County. Thanks to our sponsors/underwriters everything raised the night of the event went directly to the ministry.
Tears of thankfulness are pricking my eyes as I type this as we raised an additional $46,210. (still in awe!) This was from those who attended last night and our amazing supporters who donated despite not being able to make the event. All together, over $70,000 was raised for the ministry. This shattered all records and we exceeded our goal. After a year of challenges - we have a full team and have come through stronger than ever to STAND FOR LIFE and put love in action for the families in our communities. Thank you for being part of that!!
