WASHINGTON D.C., June 9, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — It’s hard to believe, but it has been 20 years since LifeSiteNews first began providing the most reliable, in-depth, and professional pro-life-and-family news reporting on the planet.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re throwing a 20th anniversary gala on Thursday, July 20 at the Dulles Hilton Hotel near Dulles International Airport, featuring special guests the Benham Brothers, and famed author Michael O’Brien! Also present will be many of the world’s leading pro-life and pro-family leaders.
And you’re invited! (CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE OR TO BUY TICKETS)
It’s been quite a ride since our humble beginnings in 1997, as a then-new venture of Canada’s national pro-life organization, Campaign Life Coalition. The Internet was in its infancy, and people wondered if an online pro-life and pro-family news agency could possibly survive, let alone find a sizable audience.
Little did we know!
Last year LifeSiteNews – now with staff in several nations – spread the truth about life and family to 25+ million unique visitors to our website, who clicked through 60 million pages. Clearly, the need was there! We’ve now risen to become the #1 most-visited site on the Internet for pro-life and pro-family news, and we continue to grow by the day.
At the 20th anniversary gala you’ll be able to personally meet the entire LifeSite team, the Benham Brothers, numerous pro-life and pro-family leaders and other special guests, and spend a wonderful evening with them.
Join us to help commemorate the exciting, adventurous past 20 years of this news mission. It truly will be a night to remember.
You probably wouldn’t believe how many times we are told by life and family leaders everywhere we travel just how essential our news reporting is to them.
Last year, we were honored to receive Legatus’ top award – the Cardinal John J. O’Connor award – for our pioneering work in pro-life news reporting.
We have no problem saying that our success is not our own, but God’s. As far as we are concerned, He has been there guiding us every step of the way.
The LifeSite team prays every morning that God will use this service to help spread His TRUTH about life, family and faith here on earth. Our writers are encouraged to pray to the Holy Spirit before writing every single report so that He will enlighten their hearts and minds to come up with the right angle and to use the right words.
At the Gala there will be inspirational live music, special guest speakers, and of course a delicious dinner.
We’ve got musicians Joyce Bartholomew and jazz trumpet prodigy Geoff Gallante. In addition to the Benham Brothers and Michael O’Brien, you’ll also be hearing from some of the members of our team (telling stories is what we do best!).
The evening will start with a 6:00 pm VIP Reception, followed by the dinner beginning at 7:30 pm.
We’ve created a LifeSite 20th Anniversary Gala website where you can find out all about the event and make your personal reservation.
Also, please note that we have arranged a special hotel room rate for all those who need to stay over in Washington for the event.
