Pregnancy Decision Health Centers (PDHC) will host its annual Celebration for LIFE galas on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Tree Church in Lancaster and on Thursday, Sept. 24 at Villa Milano Banquet & Conference Center in Columbus. Each dinner will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., and doors open at 5:30.

PDHC plans to reveal an important announcement during the galas regarding the future of the organization in Columbus.

This year’s theme, “Every Life Tells a Story,” was drawn from Psalm 139: 16: “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”

The evening is an opportunity for attendees to listen to renowned speakers, learn and support PDHC’s work. There is no cost to attend.

This year’s gala speakers include Mike Spencer, who will speak in Lancaster, and Andrew Wood in Columbus.

Spencer is the founder and president of Project LifeVoice, a human rights organization that equips and inspires pro-life ambassadors to speak compellingly and act sacrificially on behalf of the preborn.

Wood is a seasoned speaker and former pastor from Tennessee with a love for the Gospel, family and local church.

PDHC is celebrating more than 45 years of rescuing lives and impacting generations, one heartbeat at a time, in central Ohio.

The Celebration for LIFE galas support the organization’s four pillars: pregnancy intervention, family empowerment, youth development, and abortion recovery. All services at PDHC are provided free of charge.

The family of centers – which has three locations in Columbus and a fourth in Lancaster – offers a 24/7 crisis hotline, personalized consultations, pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, Abortion Pill Reversal services and supportive resources.

PDHC also offers in-person and online parenting education classes designed to empower healthy families and offer practical support, including diapers, clothing, car seats, Pack ‘N Plays and essential items at its baby boutiques.

The organization provides character building, healthy choices and sexual risk avoidance education to youth, empowering young people to achieve their life goals.

PDHC’s Abortion Recovery offers hope and healing to individuals grieving following the trauma of a recent or past abortion experience. A 24/7 CareLine is available at 614-721-2100.
