Right to Life of North Central Indiana held its second of four spring banquets on Tuesday, April 1, at Hanfield Global Methodist Church in Marion, IN. This year’s banquet had almost 70 guests in attendance! Guests received an update from Katie Willman with Pregnancy Help Center in Marion. Our keynote speaker was Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott, who shared his personal story of how his journey has been shaped by the brave decision of his mother, who as a single mother chose life despite facing overwhelming odds.
RTL Executive Director Dave Koontz also gave an encouraging update on pro-life activities in North Central Indiana. Guests enjoyed a meal provided by King Gyros of Marion and truffle balls from Nothin’ But Truffles. Thank you to these in-kind donors: Rabb Water Systems for providing bottled water and Wildman for the table linens.
At the end of the evening, generous guests raised $7,500 in donations and pledges with an additional $5,000 in matching money for a total of $12,500! Right to Life donors promote a culture of life in North Central Indiana and beyond by:
