| 9th Annual Scavenger Hunt for Birthright |
In 1997, as HWFAC began to expose the deeds of Public Health and Planned Parenthood clinics, we realized that a suitable pro-abstinence, pro-life resource that would be needed to provide good help and counseling for young women. It was a Focus on the Family article that inspired us to sponsor scavenger hunts on Father's Day weekend each year with all supplies and monies going directly to Birthright. This year, HWFAC sponsored the 9th Annual Scavenger Hunt for Birthright.Last year's event saw 948.5 pounds of infant and maternity clothing and supplies collected along with $1,245 in cash, all in one day; a total of 2,193.5 points. That was raised by 10 churches. This year's event saw a significant drop to 418.5 pounds of supplies along with $839 in cash for a total of 1257.5 points, from 3 participating churches. While it is disappointing, the good news is that some churches who did not participate in the Scavenger Hunt this year are raising supplies for Birthright throughout the year via events of their own. Birthright has requested HWFAC to hold the 10th Annual scavenger hunt next year, but we will need your help to have your church participate. Please consider being a contact for your church and asking your congregation to participate in next year's event. If you will do that, please contact Penny Enos at (905) 304-7944. Birthright needs us to provide for the needs of societies most vulnerable.
