Happy Birthday Phillip!

Phillip called the office wanting to know how he could run a fundraiser for the Pregnancy Care Center. After realizing this wasn't a prank phone call (this isn't quite the usual phone call we get) I proceeded to ask questions and get humbling answers. Phillip grew up in a single parent home not quite understanding the sacrifice his mother made each day until recently. He wanted to make his upcoming birthday not a celebration about him but a celebration for single parents.

He was calling May 5th National Single Parent Awareness Day. Friends and family would be gathering at his home to help him celebrate but he wanted to take it one step further by raising funds to donate to the Pregnancy Care Center. Baby bottles were handed out to guests, donations were taken and literature about the Pregnancy Care Center for anyone who knew of a mom or dad needing our services was given out. Phillip set a goal to raise $100 during this first annual National Single Parent Awareness Day but said God could do with it whatever He willed. However, Phillip nearly doubled that goal. Happy Birthday Phillip and Happy Single Parent Awareness Day!!
