21 Dec Care Net’s 39th Annual Fall Fundraising Dinner Banquet
More than 350 people attended Care Net’s 39th Annual Fall Fundraising Banquet at the InterGenerational Center on November 17. Guest speaker and board certified OB/GYN Dr. William Lile gave an inspiring message about the latest prenatal medical breakthroughs and life-saving procedures worldwide. Dr. Lile’s message is that a patient is a person, no matter how small.
Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner from TooJay’s Catering while learning about Care Net Pregnancy Center’s new building, a debt-free gift thanks to generous donor support and a testament to Care Net’s motto that with God, all things are possible.
The event’s highlights included the 2023 Legacy of Life Award which was presented to Care Net’s office manager, Vicki Fannin, for her two decades-long achievements at the pregnancy facility. Plus, three lucky winners took home paintings by local artist and interior designer Reggie McCormack.
