A New Day Dawns…
at Daybreak LifeCare Center!

 

Please join us for our Annual Spring Gala
April 10, 2025
at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center
6:00-8:00pm
with Special Guest, Dr. Neil C. Stewart,
Senior Minister at First Presbyterian Church in Columbia

Please join us once again for Daybreak LifeCare Center’s annual Spring Gala on Thursday, April 10th, at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. This year’s theme is “A New Day Dawns” and will prompt an evening filled with impactful client testimonials, a celebration of Daybreak’s over 40 years of service to Columbia, a fresh vision for Daybreak’s future and will culminate with a keynote address featuring Columbia’s own Dr. Neil C. Stewart of First Presbyterian Church in Columbia.

Dr. Stewart’s experience in both medicine and ministry, along with his leadership role in our community, will bring valuable insight to our evening event.

In addition to the keynote address, we will have a few brief updates from community leaders on the state of the prolife movement here in South Carolina as well as a compelling testimony from Daybreak’s own, Lori Baker, Director of Client Care and Abortion Recovery.

Please join us for dinner and this impactful annual event. Tables will be available to sponsor by churches, businesses or groups of friends to enjoy the evening together. There are 5 levels of table sponsorship: TABLE SPONSOR, BRONZE SPONSOR, SILVER SPONSOR, GOLD SPONSOR, PLATINUM SPONSOR. We are also offering an individual registration option for $65/person.

We are excited to offer an inspiring event, and to share more with you about how you can partner with Daybreak to support the women and men of the Midlands who are experiencing unexpected pregnancies.
