January 20th, 2008 - Sanctity of Human Life Day
In a January 13, 1984 proclamation, President Ronald Reagan designated January 22, 1984 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day. The date was chosen to coincide with the 11th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case that legalized abortions in the United States. Reagan issued the proclamation annually thereafter, designating Sanctity of Human Life Day to be the third Sunday in January, which represents the closest Sunday to the original January 22 date. His successor, George H. W. Bush, continued the annual proclamation throughout his presidency. Bush's successor, Bill Clinton, discontinued the practice throughout his eight years in office, but Bush's son and Clinton's successor, George W. Bush, resumed the proclamation, and has done so every year since his inauguration. The pro-life community has continued to set this day aside each year since it’s inception to pray for an end to abortion. East County Pregnancy Care Clinic offers pro-life material to the community churches to assist in their remembrance of this day.
March 8th, 2008 - Walk For Life
Each spring, East County Pregnancy Care Clinic holds an annual, two-mile, “stroller to wheelchair” Walk for Life fundraiser. Participants obtain sponsors who pledge a total amount to be donated upon the walker's completion of the event. This, in turn, helps raise important funds for the ongoing operation of the Clinic. On the day of the event, walkers gather at a community park and Walk for Life while praying to end abortion in this country. Those not able to attend can walk on their own wherever they are--so this is truly something everyone can do. Not only is the Walk a fun and fit way to raise money for the Clinic, but it also makes a statement, letting the world know that the Culture of Life is alive and well in San Diego County!
May 22nd, 2008 - Golf Fore Life
For golfing enthusiasts, East County Pregnancy Care Clinic is proud to offer its annual Golf Fore Life Tournament. Whether you want to golf alone or in a foursome, this is the place for you to come out and enjoy a day on the greens! Sponsors are also needed for this important event. From Hole Sponsors to Tournament Sponsors, and several levels of sponsorship in between, we need you! Aside from the joy of golfing, the day is full of contests, raffle prizes, and nicely topped off with a scrumptious dinner and award presentation. This is another fun event that helps raise both money and awareness for the Clinic and the life-saving work that is done here.
October 23rd, 2008 - Fall Fundraising Banquet
Each fall, East County Pregnancy Care Clinic hosts its annual, semi-formal Fall Fundraising Banquet. While our Executive Director shares current and future work of the Clinic, a renowned, pro-life speaker enlightens guests with updated information and motivates us to take action. We are blessed in song by a special musical guest and often moved to tears after hearing clients’ testimonies. It is an evening of information, inspiration and motivation. At the end of the night an invitation is given to get involved and support ECPCC through the gift of finances and/or time by volunteering. This is an event like no other-an evening not to be missed!
