8th Annual Walk for Life will be held on 
January 21, 2012 at Civic Center Plaza in San Fran

http://walkforlifewc.com

NOTE NEW LOCATION AND ROUTE!

Due to a scheduling conflict, the Walk for Life will be unable to follow its familiar route from Justin Herman Plaza and along San Francisco’s waterfront to Marina Green. Instead, we will be gathering at Civic Center Plaza at 11:00 am for the Info Fair to be followed by the rally at 12:30 pm. At 1:30 we will start walking down Market Street to Justin Herman Plaza.

We are excited about this new opportunity and believe that this new venue will give us the chance to grow our numbers. More information to come so please sign up for our email blasts to keep informed of these important changes.

HOTEL UPDATE: We have contracted for a special rate of $109/night (plus taxes) with the San Francisco Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf Hotel. Call the reservation number 800-525-0956 and request the "Walk for Life Room Block".

Culture of Life Family Services

 
 Every baby saved from in front of the abortion mill is a cause for joy.  However, the initial save from the mill is often just the first step in the path to life for the unborn baby.  Culture of Life Family Services (COLFS) is a place where women can be sent for a free ultrasound and competent medical advice.  Nearly all women who can be intercepted from the major abortion mills in San Diego are sent by the sidewalk counselors to COLFS.  There is a very high rate of decision for life, once a mother gets to see an ultra sound of her baby.  Women in crisis pregnancies can get these services for free.  But we all know they are not without cost.  We have an opportunity to do our part in supporting COLFS. Click on the link above to support COLFS.
