Teens for Life is a
student organization whose members support life causes. We sponsor and
take part in several activities throughout the school year. These
include:
* Chick-fil-A biscuit sales on Monday and Wednesday mornings. The
proceeds help fund our trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the
National March for Life.
* Life Chain, a silent, prayerful protest against abortion. This takes
place nation-wide on the first Sunday of October each year.
Our designated place to stand is at the corner of Union and McLean.
* The National March of Life in Washington, D.C. This is held on the
anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Roe vs. Wade, which legalized
abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.
* The local Walk for Life. Members not traveling with us to D.C. act
as hostesses for this local walk which begins with a prayer service and
talk in the cathedral.
* Blood Drives - we sponsor three blood drives each year with
LifeBlood. Students 16 and older are encouraged to give to this worthy
cause.
* April Shower for Birthright - Each year we sponsor a baby shower for
Birthright, a local crisis pregnancy center. Students bring in baby
items for their layette closet which are used to help
women in crisis who have chosen to keep their babies.
We also make a monetary donation to the Birthright emergency fund.
