Where you get more bang for the buck, more rubble for the ruble:<\/p>\n

I have some great news to share with you!<\/p>\n

Two supporters called me yesterday evening and told me that they are sending Students for Life a generous matching grant, which means that every donation we receive between now and midnight tomorrow will be DOUBLED up to $40,000!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are the only two rules:<\/em><\/p>\n

1) You must donate on this page towards this campaign. Just go here: https:\/\/sfla.webconnex.com\/endofyear3<\/a> If you want to phone in your donation, just call our headquarters at 540-834-4600.)<\/em><\/p>\n

2) To have your tax-deductible donation DOUBLED, you must give between now and MIDNIGHT TOMORROW.<\/p>\n

Please give as generously as you can right now. <\/strong>Anything you can give will be instantly doubled, so that means\u2026.<\/p>\n

A gift of $50 will be doubled to $100!<\/em>
\nA gift of $100 will be doubled to $200!
\nA gift of $500 will be doubled to $1,000!
\nA gift of $5,000 will be doubled to $10,000!!<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, I emailed you that we were $108,000 short of our financial goal for 2016. This matching grant is an answer to our prayers because I know we can meet it now.<\/p>\n

This goal is important because in January, I will have bills totaling more than $200,000 coming due to pay for our National Conferences in Washington and San Francisco and for all of the \u201cI am the Pro-Life Generation\u201d signs that we give to students at the March for Life, Walk for Life, and local pro-life marches\u2026.including the pro-abortion \u201cWomen\u2019s March\u201d in DC that we will be crashing. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

These outreaches are critical to our mission. <\/em><\/p>\n

As you saw in the video I sent earlier this week, our National Conference was the place where Sister Bethany and Billy got inspired to serve in the pro-life movement for the rest of their lives. And our signs at the March for Life and other events have literally changed the way the media talks about our movement.<\/p>\n

We have so much on our plate in 2017 with this new presidential administration. Planned Parenthood is not backing down.<\/strong> Right now they are exceeding all of their fundraising goals and are breaking records. Their supporters expect them to fight.<\/p>\n

So we have to be there FIRST on every high school and college campus they set foot on, intercepting the students they are trying to suck into their predatory business model. In addition, we are going to have to be in Washington and cities across the nation this month with as many pro-life young people as we can muster, showing President Trump that we expect him to live up to his pro-life promises and showing the media that truly Planned Parenthood and their allies are in the minority.<\/p>\n

Mark, I hope you can prayerfully consider making as large of a gift as you can today and help us reach our goal!! Donate here: https:\/\/sfla.webconnex.com\/endofyear3<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember every dollar you give will be doubled!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for all you allow us to serve.<\/p>\n

God Bless,<\/p>\n

Kristan Hawkins
\nPresident, Students for Life<\/p>\n

P.S. \u2013 Your End of the Year, Matching Gift to Students for Life will be DOUBLED<\/strong> and tax-deductible!<\/strong> Please make a $25, $50, $100, or even $500 gift right now: https:\/\/sfla.webconnex.com\/endofyear3<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
