Council for Life was overjoyed to see 400+ children, parents and grandparents spending time together, playing games and supporting our third annual Family Fun for Life on April 27!
The SMU Armstrong Fieldhouse was filled with laughter, fun and joy as guests played, snacked, danced and learned about Council for Life and our 34 outstanding 2025 Beneficiaries. Read more about our Beneficiaries HERE.
Children of all ages enjoyed the gigantic obstacle courses, face painting, bounce houses, football pass and run games, putt-putt, a 360-photo booth experience and an energetic performance by The Dad Band.
Delicious tacos and quesadillas from Mi Cocina and sweet treats donated by The Festive Kitchen were highlights of the day. Families spread out on blankets and enjoyed refreshments from the popular Snack Station.
Pastor Josh Peck from Highland Park Presbyterian Church opened the event with a beautiful prayer, sharing how the delicate birth of his precious twins opened his heart to courageously value the dignity of all preborn babies.
Council for Life is grateful for our awesome Sponsors who generously donated to make the event free of charge to the public!
Thank you to all of our spirited and fabulous volunteers, including football players from Highland Park High School, Jesuit High School and The Covenant School, Pom Squad leaders from Trinity Christian Academy and CFL Board members, Young Leaders for Life and other CFL Friends.
Heartfelt gratitude to Family Fun for Life Co-Chairs Alex McGowen, Patrice People, Janie Stephens and Emily Sutphin for planning the fantastic Family Fun for Life!
Thank You to Our Sponsors!
