Walk for Life!
United in Christ for LIFE
Last year 106 precious babies were saved from abortion when people like you answered God’s call to partner with our mission.
Help us defend LIFE and reach our $100,000 goal! Just follow these four easy steps:
- Register to walk at this link. You can register as an individual or family, or create a team with your friends or your church. When you register, you automatically create a free online fundraising page that you can share with others.
- To get sponsors, ask friends, family, and acquaintances for pledges or donations. Use our fundraising form or share your fundraising page via text, email, or social media. If you need a hardcopy fundraising form, download it here and print it off, or pick one up at our Jackson or Trenton offices. You may also choose to participate by showing up the day of the Walk and donating any amount.
- Check out our fundraising tips and resources below.
- Turn in your pledges and donations at the walk!

Fundraising Resources
Helpful Tips:
- Don’t know who to ask to sponsor you (donate or pledge to Birth Choice)? Ask friends, family, coworkers, church family, small group members, neighbors, etc. Just regular folks who believe in our mission. If you are a student, ask professors or teachers, coaches, parents of friends, or church small group leaders.
- Don’t know how to ask? We highly recommend either asking in person or calling and asking people to donate. The personal touch goes a long way! Another good option is texting people a link to your fundraising page where they can easily donate online. You can share the link to your social media pages as well.
- Don’t know what to say? Use our social media captions and sample email/text below.
- Branch out. In addition to faithful donors, ask people you have never asked before to sponsor you.
- Aim high! You never know how much people are willing to donate for life!
- Ask the highest donating sponsor to donate first. When people see how much previous sponsors donated, say, $100, they will likely contribute a similar amount. If your first sponsor only donates $10, others will likely only donate that amount. Or, consider fundraising with two different sponsor forms, one for higher donors and one for smaller donors.
- Donations of any amount are gratefully accepted and encouraged, but due to postage costs, we do not mail receipts for donations under $100. However, donors who give via credit card will automatically receive a receipt by email.
- If your donations are recorded on your online fundraising page, please do not include them on your printed fundraising form. There is no need to double up.
- Need help customizing or using your personal fundraising page? Watch this video or reach out to Tiffany, Director of Development, at tiffany@birthchoice.us or 731-453-8159.
- Have fun!

Social Media
After you register for the Walk for Life and create your online fundraising page through Fund Easy, we encourage you to personalize your fundraising page by adding photos and personal messages. Sharing the link to your page through text is the most effective way to ask people to donate, but sharing it on your social media pages is also a great way to get the word out. When posting to social media, feel free to copy and paste these captions or personalize them. You may also copy and paste the client stories or quotes found here.
Suggested Caption:
I am Walking for LIFE to support Birth Choice this fall. Abortion is illegal in Tennessee, but women in our area are still considering abortion and can travel just over three hours away to get one in Illinois. Sadly, it only takes 5 to 10 minutes to order the abortion pill online. Want to join me in the race to save babies from abortion and share Christ’s love with moms in need?

Suggested Caption:
I’m Walking for LIFE because women are still seeking abortions online and out of state, even though abortion is no longer available in Tennessee. Women and men still need help for unplanned pregnancies and Birth Choice has plans to help our community more than ever!
Please consider donating to my walk! #BCwalkforlife [LINK]

Birth Choice Stories to Share
These stories happened this year at some of our clinic locations. Share them on social media or with your church or small group! More stories and client quotes can be found here.
Angela: While fetal heartbeats are typically visible around the six-week mark, sometimes you can see and measure a heartbeat earlier than that. “Angela” (pseudonym) was only five weeks and six days along, but the ultrasound nurse at Birth Choice detected a heart rate that was well over 100 beats per minute. It was seeing that heartbeat and recognizing her child’s humanity that changed Angela’s mind on having an abortion. That day, she chose to give her baby life! Fun fact: the earliest heartbeat the Birth Choice staff have seen on their ultrasound machines is at five weeks and five days. Ultrasound is truly a gift from God!
Jenna: When “Jenna” (pseudonym) first stepped through our doors, she carried a heavy heart, feeling emotional, embarrassed, and disappointed in herself. She hadn’t been to church in the last year, and in that timeframe, she had been in a relationship with a verbally abusive man. So when she found herself pregnant for the first time, she thought abortion was the best option. However, our dedicated advocate enveloped her in warmth and understanding, reminding Jenna that she is deeply loved and cherished, not only by us but by Jesus. As Jenna soaked in the heartfelt information about parenting resources, adoption, and the realities of abortion, she felt empowered to explore the life-affirming options before her. Given her history with depression and suicidal thoughts, she especially resonated with the insights on post-abortion trauma. After talking with her advocate and seeing her baby’s heartbeat on ultrasound, Jenna realized that choosing life is the best option for herself and her baby! She also said she might consider going back to church, and she scheduled an orientation for our ESTHER parenting and childbirth program. Please pray that God will protect and provide for Jenna and draw her to Himself!
