We are proud to announce that because of your generosity, we raised $167,201.58! An incredible 442 people joined us live in person and via online thus making our Banquet the largest Covid-era event in Pueblo to date! The theme this year was “Life, Worth Defending.” - a sentiment that all human life is valuable and should be protected. Ryan Bomberger was our Keynote Speaker this year and we are still blown away months later by his powerful presentation.
Ryan is the Co-Founder of The Radiance Foundation, a non-profit organization that he directs with his wife Bethany. The Radiance Foundation seeks to creatively affirm that every human life has purpose. Bomberger is also the author of “Not Equal: Civil Rights Gone Wrong.”
The gala was separated into five rooms to adhere with the COVID-19 guidelines at the time, up to 100 attendees per room, with Bomberger being live-streamed to each individual room and to online participants.
ACPC CEO Tamra Axworthy, outlined ACPC’s vision for 2021, which heavily focuses on the renovation and tentative grand opening of the newly purchased Women’s Clinic building next door at 510 Colorado, marketing and COVID-19 recovery.
Banquet gifts are still being accepted through the end of the year. All donations are tax deductible. The pledges received will help sustain the center in the coming year. ACPC relies heavily on our fundraisers which make up 49.2% of our annual budget. Donate >>
New this year – for the first time in ACPC history, a 40-minute virtual version of the event is available to the public and can be found here and on our Youtube Channel.
The virtual event includes an introduction of our staff, an overview of our services, client testimonies, and a customized version of Ryan Bomberger’s presentation.
We’d like to thank Ryan Bomberger for headlining this special evening and delivering a powerful keynote addressing the beauty of possibility and that all life — planned, unplanned, able or differently able — has purpose.
