Pro-Life Attention / Fund-Raisers
Mother’s Day Rose/Carnation Sale
Mother's Day ad in local newspaper (collect names of mothers after church services, at civic groups, etc., for $5 per name; list all these mothers' names in an ad with a beautiful photo of a mother and baby at the top with the words, "Thanks, Mom, for my life!") This is a wonderful community project.
Signature Ads
Baby Bottle Drives (buy hundreds of baby bottles and ask families in churches to take them home for a month & fill with spare change)
Spring to Life concert
plan a contest between local church choirs or bands
host a BBQ or a picnic
host a softball / volleyball tournament, perhaps with the picnic
Invite local fast food restaurants to donate a portion of the cost of meals during a certain time period for your fund-raiser. The store may request that patrons specify that the donation be made; you could provide people with a coupon/flyer to help remind them.
