Help save unborn babies!<\/p>\n
Please consider joining fellow Pro-Lifers on Saturday, July 28th, for the annual 4US Flagship Event at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood. It is a Walk, Run, Bike, and Ride event that celebrates the gift of life and raises money for young women in crisis pregnancies by buying ultrasound machines to donate to crisis pregnancy centers. 4US was started by a local Catholic family, Diego and Kim Wendt, in response to the abortion crisis. We have our own team and I hope you will consider signing up to come to the event or making a donation to sponsor those who are participating. The Knights of Columbus sponsors half of the cost of each ultrasound machine that is purchased by 4US. With this incentive, each ultrasound machine costs about $13,000 and each machine saves about 2,000 babies over its time of service. That means you can save a baby for a little more than the cost of a latte! There is no more efficient charity that I am aware of. Hope to see you there. It is a wonderful family event! <\/p>\n
God bless!<\/p>\n
