Love them Both Banquet Recap
What an amazing night Thursday, August 25th was at the Love Them Both Fundraising Banquet! It was such a joy to be with a little over 500 of you to celebrate what God is doing in our ministry – and join together to make an impact for life in East Tennessee, one life at a time.
We were blessed by the message of our CEO Valerie Millsapps and Kirk Walden our special guest speaker. His words on the importance of sharing with others in our community in compassion and humility is one we will not forget and Valerie challenging us to take a stand and that our voice is needed now more than ever!
Your support has given us much to celebrate at the Pregnancy Resource Center! In the last year, we were able to retire the note of our main location and are close to opening our third pregnancy center location in Sevier County. This makes all of our brick-and-mortar locations and our mobile clinic debt FREE! We also served more families than ever before. We know this will continue and your support helps us serve families that walk in our door every single day for free.
We also had the honor of sharing a powerful testimony from one of our clients, Desiree. Their sweet picture is below and we will share her video in the coming months as we get the opportunity to speak at local churches.
This event would NOT be possible without our incredible underwriters. We had a couple of anonymous contributors and Misty Castigila from State Farm. You can check her business out here: https://mistycastiglia.com/
When incredible businesses and individuals like hers help underwrite the venue—this helps as people give the day of and days after the event for all the money to go straight towards the mission and not a chicken dinner ;). We are so thankful for those in the community that contributes in that way!
A special thanks to Misty for helping to underwrite a portion of this event!
