About Our Event
Please join us for our fall fundraising gala, 'Fearfully and Wonderfully Made' on Thursday, October 8th from 6-10pm at Laurel Manor in Livonia. An evening dedicated to celebrating life, strengthening families, and investing in the next generation of pro-life advocates with a special opportunity to support with our Annual Mission Appeal. The gala will feature a well appointed meal and refreshments, silent auction, keynote and panel discussion.
Our keynote speaker, Morgan Reese, became pro-life after seeing a graphic photo of an aborted baby on Instagram, which led her to heavily researching and learning more about abortion.
Morgan attended Bowling Green State University and while there, she became the Founder and President of Falcons for Life, as well as the Communications Director for the University of Toledo Students for Life group.
She was also a William Wilberforce Fellow and a regular volunteer at the Bowling Green Pregnancy Center and Akron Pregnancy Services. Morgan has been featured in multiple media outlets including ABC Nightline News, The Washington Post, Catholic News Agency, and National Catholic Register. She has also spoken about abortion at many Catholic churches during Mass.
Morgan served as Students for Life’s Ohio/Michigan Regional Intern for a semester, then as Michigan Regional Coordinator for 2 years, and now serves as the Programs & Legal Operations Coordinator.
New this year will be a student-led panel discussion on important pro-life issues in the workforce, throughout college campuses, and various other young adult communities.
We look forward to learning more about their approach and experiences to pro-life apologetics. We look forward to empowering and encouraging our next generation of life affirming and protecting advocates!
All proceeds raised will directly benefit our mission.
The Lennon Center relies on our community of supporters like you to help fund our everyday expenses, keep the lights on and the doors open for our clients. It is through your assistance that we are able to lift up, encourage, and embrace the women who are in need.
Please call the office at 313-277-5637 if you would like to purchase your tickets with cash or check. Advance ticket sales only through 10/2/2026.
