What started in the Brazos Valley is changing the world!

In 1998, Planned Parenthood opened the first abortion facility in the history of the Brazos Valley. In response, thousands of concerned community members joined together to form the Coalition for Life.

In 2004, the Coalition launched 40 Days for Life, an initiative of prayer and fasting, peaceful vigil, and community outreach. 40 Days for Life has since grown into a worldwide movement, mobilizing 1,000,000 volunteers in 1,004 cities across 63 countries.

As a result, 17,226 babies’ lives have been saved from abortion, 206 workers have quit the abortion industry, and 107 abortion centers have closed – including the Planned Parenthood in Bryan!

On Thursday, February 25, you are invited to help expand this life-saving momentum by attending Benefit 2021 … right in the heart of Texas, where it all began.
