Whether you attended, made a donation, bought a raffle ticket, volunteered, or prayed – or all of the above – the board and staff of the CPLC are grateful to you, and the entire pro-life community of Dallas. You – and your "yes" to God's call to be a vital partner in the defense of life – are the reason for our success.
