David Bereit to speak at Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Annual Auction Dinner this Friday, September 28

Brookfield, Wis. - David Bereit, national campaign director for the 40 Days for Life vigil, will be the keynote speaker at Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Annual Auction Dinner. The event will again be held at the Country Springs Hotel and Conference Center in Waukesha at 5 p.m. this Friday, September 28. Advanced reservations are required.

David stepped aside from a profitable career in the pharmaceutical industry in 2001 to devote his full-time energy to saving lives in the pro-life movement. As executive director of the Coalition for Life, David helped organize the nation’s first 40 Days for Life prayer vigil at Planned Parenthood in College Station, Texas. The 40 day, 24-hour perpetual prayer vigil and accompanying local grassroots outreach rallied over a thousand people to publicly protest the killing of preborn children in David’s local community.

Since 2001, the concept of setting aside 40 days for concentrated prayer, fasting and perpetual vigil has spread nationwide. David will be in Milwaukee this evening to kick-off a national 40 Days for Life vigil taking place simultaneously in over 90 cities across the country. David also served as executive director of American Life League and has garnered a national reputation as a speaker and motivator of pro-life groups across the country.

David’s passion and experience as both a local grassroots organizer and national leader in the pro-life movement make him the perfect keynote speaker for Pro-Life Wisconsin’s Annual Auction Dinner. Founded fifteen years ago as a voice for pro-life activists concerned that children conceived in rape and incest, and embryos threatened by in vitro fertilization and abortifacient birth control had no public voice, Pro-Life Wisconsin has grown to a statewide network of local affiliates representing over 30,000 families.

At the Capitol and in local communities across the state, Pro-Life Wisconsin is the premier advocacy group for the total protection of all of God’s created persons, from the moment of fertilization until the moment of natural death, without exception and without compromise.

You won’t want to miss the celebration and stirring address of David Bereit. A few select seats are still available at the Annual Auction Dinner. All seats are $50.
