Over 1,000 attend pregnancy center banquets

Organizati­on served over 300 women in the past year

-

A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado held our Annual Fundraisin­g Banquets on four consecutiv­e evenings with four locations in Sterling, Holyoke, Yuma and Brush January 27-30, 2023.

This year’s banquet theme “Planting Seeds of Growth” featured speaker Amy Ford, Cofounder and president of Embrace Grace ministries, an internatio­nal non-profit that has trained and equipped over 950 churches in all 50 states and multiple countries to open their doors and hearts to women with unexpected pregnancie­s.

Mrs. Ford said, “The pregnancy center should be the first responders and the church should be the hospital.” We’re excited to launch Embrace Grace as a support system in northeast Colorado this spring.

“We’re growing!” says Roberta Bigalk, Executive Director of A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado. “With over 1,000 people in attendance at our banquets, we’re excited about the support we have received across our service area. Having served well over 300 women this past year shows us how valuable our organizati­on is to the communitie­s we serve in Northeaste­rn Colorado.”

“We raised a record-breaking amount of support that, once all is said and done, may exceed our expectatio­ns! We’re closing in on $175,000 and with the continued support of our communitie­s across the northeast plains of Colorado, I’m sure we will make it! Each of the four banquets doubled what they had done in the past.”

A Caring Pregnancy Resource Center is a 501 (c)3 non-profit with five locations in Yuma, Wray, Sterling, Holyoke, and Brush providing no-cost and confidenti­al pregnancy confirmati­on, STD Testing, Ultra sounds, lending closets and support services throughout Northeast Col

orado. Not every pregnant mom needs assistance but many of our clients do not have a good support system that is providing the essentials. We want to be there for them!

All proceeds from the evening go directly to helping young mothers, students, babies, and families in Northeast Colorado. For more informatio­n about services or to donate, contact the Pregnancy Center at 970-8424324 or visit our website: neco-cpc.org/tickets.
