“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” – Isaiah 6:8
This verse embodies the spirit of We Care’s mission and reflects the hearts of donors, volunteers and staff who work together to serve the God who transforms lives. Please consider joining us for this year’s Circle of Care fundraising Banquet where our theme will be “Here am I. Send me!”
Our annual banquet fundraiser offers you the opportunity to hear from clients whose lives and family have been impacted by We Care, a 2023 ministry update, and fellowship with others who have a shared vision for helping families facing an unexpected pregnancy. You do not want to miss out on this special evening. It will entertain, inspire, and challenge you.
Our keynote speaker this year is author, speaker and actress Lauren Roman, who brings a dynamic, powerful message of transformation and abundant life in Christ.
Many of you may recognize Lauren from her starring roles on television shows such as the ABC soap opera All My Children and the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We invite you to listen to her testimony of how a life-changing encounter with a Pregnancy Center revealed her true vocation.
This will be an uplifting, inspiring and unforgettable event. You don’t want to miss it!
