While Covid-19 is affecting our families, our communities, and our way of life, abortion hasn’t stopped and neither have we! Our Annual Gala is going VIRTUAL so you can safely attend and be inspired from the comfort and convenience of your home. We need you now more than ever to sustain the ministry and partner with us through your giving. We can't wait to celebrate and share with you all that God has done this year!

THE NEED IS GREAT AND SO IS OUR CALLING.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:5

A public health crisis like the coronavirus can cause uncertainty and stress for everyone. For women and men facing a pregnancy decision at this time the risk of them considering an abortion is greater. Since the start of Covid 19 nearly 4,400 babies have lost their lives to abortion in Hillsborough County alone. Through education and Christ-centered support, the Lord uses CHOICES to SHINE His light into this dark world. Due to COVID-19 concerns, CHOICES had to convert our in-person Gala into a virtual fundraiser. This is our largest fundraiser of the year and is mission-critical to our lifesaving work. To help in this crucial time, please join us for the virtual benefit. You can safely attend and be inspired by the comfort and convenience of your home.
