October 27, 2011
Fundraising Banquet at Prescott Resort, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

This year our speaker is Shawn Carney who is the co-founder of 40 Days for Life. Shawn is one of the youngest and most inspirational pro-life speakers in America today. Shawn began in the pro-life movement in college as a volunteer and after college was asked to be the Executive Director of the organization he volunteered for, the Coalition for Life.

In 2004, Shawn helped lead the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in College Station, Texas. This breakthough initiative — made up of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion, round-the-clock peaceful vigil outside a local abortion center, and grassroots door-to-door outreach — dropped the local abortion numbers by 28%.

Beginning in 2007, Shawn helped to expand 40 Days for Life to 337 cities in all 50 American states, six Canadian provinces, England, Ireland, Australia and Denmark. His efforts have mobilized more than 400,000 pro-life volunteers over the last three years. 40 Days for Life has confirmed reports of 3,599 mothers choosing life and 43 center workers who have had conversions and left their jobs, including former Planned Parenthood Director, Abby Johnson.

Shawn is a regular media spokesperson and has been featured on hundreds of media outlets including Fox News, “The O’Reilly Factor”, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and Christian media, including The Christian Post, National Catholic Register, and Focus on the Family.

Shawn’s experience in local and national pro-life ministry has led him across America, inspiring audiences. His passion for helping women and the unborn is contagious. If you would like to receive an invitation to this year’s banquet, please call Sue Szot at 928-778-7654.
