Banquet - Ventura County Pregnancy Center

Dear Friend of the Ministry:

Our annual Legacy of Life event is right around the corner! We are excited to have NIFLA (National Institute of Family Life Advocates) Founder and President, Tom Glessner, as our guest speaker this year. The event will be held on Thursday, October 12th, 2023 at the Ventura Beach Marriott. This event is an incredible time to celebrate what God has done in the ministry with an incredible evening of food, inspirational speakers, and exciting ministry updates!

This is our largest fundraising event, and in order for it to have the maximum impact, we need YOU!

It’s Simple!

We are asking for individual or corporate support with Underwriting and/or being an onsite Table Host.

Why would you want to Underwrite the banquet?

Underwriting will help meet the financial needs of the banquet in order to focus on continuing and
expanding this ministry. Here’s how…

More funds are raised. One-time gifts and pledges are much greater when people attend as opposed to paying.
A greater number of people attend. When more people attend, it is inevitable that the increased awareness of this ministry produces volunteers, clients, broader church involvement, and new donors.
You would be underwriting eternal results of this ministry as we expose new people to the Ventura County Pregnancy Center and the work we do here.

Underwriting does not obligate you to attend or be a host. It is a way for you to impact this ministry in a unique way by allowing others to come and get involved.

What are the requirements of the Table Host?

Say yes!
Invite 8-9 carefully selected guests to fill a table of 10 (including you)
Provide list of guests 3 weeks prior to the banquet to reservation coordinator
Communicate with your guests that this is a fundraising event to support this important ministry, and not just a free meal.
Attend the Table Host Informational meeting on Monday, August 28th, 2023. What are the requirements of the Table Host?

There is no financial commitment on the part of the Table Host. Simply invite selected guests such as friends, business associates, and community leaders who may not know about our center and have the ability to give a financial gift. We are asking you to prayerfully consider underwriting and/or host a table. You can have a direct impact on unborn lives and have fun doing it!

“I am going to be a first-time mommy and my friend suggested the program to me. The “Earn While You Learn” program has been such a blessing for me. The classes are so helpful and we learned so much and the staff is so sweet and friendly. I love the idea of “Baby Bucks’, I was able to purchase so many things in their boutique. I would definitely recommend the program to other pregnant women.”

Joanna

“It’s wonderful, a great way to make friends and learn about babies. I enjoy the life skills classes the best, so helpful.”

Jessica

“This program has been the most valuable and meaningful part of my pregnancy. It has completely prepared me for parenthood and has given me the confidence and tools I need to become a new mom. I feel so grateful to have all of the support I need for my exciting journey ahead. I am absolutely amazed at the generosity of the volunteers and donors and want them to know that their hard work truly shines through. Their support has truly changed my (and my soon-to-be baby’s) life!”

Christine

“This program has been a blessing for me. I am expecting my fourth child and I have learned so much I never knew about. I have the ability to learn and to earn Baby Bucks to be able to purchase anything from diapers and clothes to car seats. This program has helped me and everyone is so wonderful here.”

Deena

“I think this program is amazing! I have learned almost all of what I apply on my daily routine with my baby through it, and ‘earning while learning’ is a great encouragement”

Audrey

“I enjoy the knowledge I receive in the Earn While You Learn classes. I was amazed by the amount of information I was given. It all makes me feel more comfortable with what I am going through, because I know more about what to expect.”

Nicole

"I came in to see the nurse and really loved how welcoming everyone was and felt so comfortable and will come back again."
