A letter from Maggie DeWitte to our supporters
Dear Pulse Life Advocates Supporter:
Maggie DeWitte, Executive Director
I want to see you at our upcoming Christmas Gala 2025 on November 22nd.
It’s not just because this is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and that without your financial support Pulse would be compelled to reduce our pro-life educational outreach.
It’s not just because I like you, since pro-lifers are the most likable people in the world. (A ballroom filled with pro-lifers is a blast!)
And it’s not just because we’re featuring the most dynamic pro-life speaker in the world, Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life!
I want to see you there for a simple reason: there’s power in unity.
Today’s legacy media slobbers over radical pro-abortion celebrities, politicians, and nut cases (pardon the redundancy), easily uniting them in their unholy cause.
But the pro-life movement gets no such adulation from mass media. We pray in small groups at Planned Parenthood. We meet with politicians at the State House in smallish groups and help form and expand grassroots outreach.
A Christmas Gala unites us in a single, joyous room. The pro-life movement thrives in this kind of inspirational environment.
Join us on November 22nd. Already got plans? Change them. The lives of our unborn brothers and sisters are literally on the line.
Make a difference and reserve your seat on our easy-to-navigate website. The $100 per seat price is a steal for all you receive:
- Great speaker, Kristan Hawkins.
- Great meal.
- World premier of our incredible America 250 film (five minutes of raw inspiration!)
- Beautiful new venue for Pulse, the Downtown Marriott on Grand.
- Fun live auction
- Christmas-oriented silent auction.
- A chance to win $500 in a game of ‘heads or tails’
- Live Christmas music during the cocktail hour by the legendary Saints & Sinners Band.
Unity is power.
Don’t wait. Join the fun. If you haven’t reserved your seat yet, do it right now.
I want to see you there!
Thank-you!
Maggie DeWitte, Executive Director
