A New Battle For Life Begins

A New Battle for Life Begins

Put your suits and heels on for an evening of celebration, vision, and purpose as we focus on a growing need: men to stand alongside women facing unplanned pregnancies.


  As abortion pills become increasingly accessible through online providers across all 50 states in the US, many pregnancy decisions are being made earlier, more privately, and often without the support and encouragement families need. In this changing landscape, the role of fathers has never been more important.


  This year's banquet will highlight Hope First's Fatherhood Program & our commitment to reaching men before, during, and after a pregnancy decision. Through mentorship, accountability, and practical support, we are helping fathers become confident leaders who are equipped to support their partners, care for their children, and build stronger families.

Inspired by 1 Timothy 6:11-12, 

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith.

We believe the battle for life is not fought by women alone. It requires men who are willing to step forward, embrace responsibility, and become champions for life within their own families and communities.

Event Highlights:

  • Guests will hear powerful client stories  
  • Special celebration ceremony
  • Enjoy a meal catered by Mission BBQ 
  • Hear a powerful message from CEO Sean Cororan of Men for Life


  Throughout the evening, we will share how Hope First is preparing for the future, expanding our reach, and strengthening programs that empower men to become a positive force in the lives of women and children.

Join us as we celebrate stories of hope, honor men who are making a difference, and invest in a future where fathers are equipped to fight the good fight for life.

Because when fathers step up, families are strengthened, lives are impacted, and hope grows.
