Pregnancy Center banquet slated for Feb. 23, 24

The Pregnancy Center of the Coastal Bend will be announcing “a bold new vision” at their annual banquet, which is available on two dates to accommodate supporters’ schedules. The event, tagged as “Dare to Dream,” will be held at Mansion Royal at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, and Friday, Feb. 24.
 
The event’s featured speaker is Kirk Walden, author of the “The Wall”, which outlines a path to ending abortion, as we know it, in the next decade. For those ready to create a true culture of life in America, Walden brings a powerful perspective on how the battle will be won in this generation.
 
Walden’s journey into pregnancy help ministry—where he has served for more than 20 years—leads through a life as a sports writer, professional golfer and nine years as a single dad. Banquet goers will laugh and identify with his story.
 
In addition to his speaking and writing, Walden serves as an advancement specialist for Heartbeat International, the world's largest affiliate organization for the pregnancy help community. He lives in Hendersonville, Tennessee with his wife Jennifer. They have five children, ranging in age from 27 - 7.
