“Champa Bay” Life Saver Dinner Club
Written by: Christina Maurice (Creative & Communications Manager, New Life Solutions)
The Life Saver Dinner Club is a special celebration that is eagerly anticipated every summer following the Walk For Life on Mother’s Day Weekend. This celebration event is for those top walkers who go above and beyond by individually raising enough pledges to help save one or more babies. This is an incredible feat of “feet”, as many of these Life Savers meet and exceed their personal fundraising goals through the dedication of their time and energy, as well as their passion and creativity. These humble servant-heart and mission-centered folks are well-deserving of an evening where they can be recognized and thanked for all they have done to help save and transform lives in their participation to further the mission of New Life Solutions.
A Year Like No Other
This year’s Dinner Club celebration was extra special for a couple reasons. For the first time ever in the Walk’s history walkers collectively raised over $1,000,000 in pledges! Not only that, but Dinner Clubbers alone raised over half that – over $587,000! These 163 Dinner Club members made it possible for the 2021 Walk For Life to become the best Walk ever. In fact, it is the #1 Walk of its kind in the nation. Therefore our Dinner Club Celebration theme was “Champa Bay”, because this incredible group of walkers truly are National Champions for Life!
Continued Hope, Help, and Healing
A Walk For Life event of this caliber is tremendous news, especially as we rebound from the impacts of the pandemic in 2020. The funds raised will provide financial support necessary to further our mission, allowing us to:
Educate and empower more students to build healthy relationships and confidently stand against risky behavior.
Serve more women with free women’s health services & resources, such as well-woman care, pregnancy testing, STI testing and treatment, sonograms, life skills classes, discipleship classes, and more.
Empower and enable more women facing unplanned pregnancies to choose life for their babies, either through parenting or adoption.
Restore more women and men who are grieving a previous abortion or pain from a sexual trauma.
Share the Gospel to more women, men, and teens so that they may obtain the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Every Pledge Counted
Each person who raises pledges helps to save lives, no matter the amount, because it is the combined efforts of all walkers that enables our family of ministries to continue serving our community in order that more babies be saved, individuals transformed, and families restored. Together, we are a powerful force united to protect the unborn, share the gospel and transform our communities - one life a time. More pledges raised means more lives saved and more women & men who can receive help, hope & healing!
