5. Building Community through Pregnancy & Parenting Classes

8. Walk For Life LIVE

We are thrilled to share that over $148,540 was raised at the Walk for Life [http://thepregnancynetwork.org/Walk]. Because so many in our community decided to Join the Movement through generous giving, the funds raised will provide 123 women with The Pregnancy Network’s free services [http://thepregnancynetwork.org/services]!  Over 500 participants took part in the event, both in person at Lawndale Baptist Church and virtually. This included an incredible team of 65 volunteers who helped to make this event a success. We recorded this podcast LIVE at the GSO Walk For Life so enjoy a handful of interviews with walkers, volunteers, and staff as we bring you along with us for the 2021 GSO Walk For Life.
