Student Contest Award Presentations
Professor Robert George assisted March for Life President Nellie Gray in presenting the Life Award achievement certificates to the student contest winners at the 2010 Rose Dinner .Professor George was the keynote speaker at the annual event.
In addition to being honored at the 28th Annual Rose Dinner, the winning students received a $100 award, plus the opportunity to designate a prolife charity in their home communities to receive a $100 grant.
The winning entries were those adjudged to best reflect the 2010 March for Life theme:“Stand Up Now!Unite for the Life Principles.No Exception!No Compromise!”
Each essay, poem and poster was judged anonymously by a panel of volunteers.More than a thousand entries were received from across the country.
We would like to thank all students who participated in the 2010 contests, as well as the teachers and parents who supported their efforts.
Mark Your Calendars
We at March for Life Fund send our deep appreciation to all Marchers for your enormous presence at the Rally and March on January 22, 2010. There is no doubt that your greatly increased numbers and peaceful sincere determination was recognized in Washington. Now, we are very pleased to have received follow-up phone calls from many of you at schools and organizations asking about the dates for the next two years so that you can plan your schedules. This type of organization is great. Therefore, we have set the dates for the March for Life for the coming two years.
In 2011 and 2012, the anniversary date of the Roe v. Wade decision will fall on a weekend, a time when lawmakers are typically away from Washington.We want to make sure that our pro-life pilgrimage to our nation’s capitol has maximum impact on our elected leaders; and that our Marchers have an opportunity to visit with their Congressional delegations in order to press their pro-life message.For those reasons, we have scheduled the March for Life to be held on Monday, January 24, 2011, and Monday, January 23, 2012.
Please plan now to attend.Your presence, in growing numbers every year, is the best way to draw attention to the untenable legacy of Roe v. Wade, and to persuade our leaders to eradicate it from America’s future.
About the March for Life
Late in October 1973, grassroots prolife leaders became concerned that January 22, 1974, might come and go without properly memorializing the Supreme Court's infamous abortion decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, and without petitioning Congress for redress.
