Through your benevolence, in 2022 we raised over $97,000, with the Knights of Columbus matching grant raising our donation to in excess of $194,000. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and more importantly, from the mothers and the children who you helped save as a result.
As of January 2023, we are approaching the placement of our 50th ultrasound machine. The word has spread that we are here and have the experience and resources to fund the ultrasound equipment. I urge you to go to our site CFLaps4Life.org.
Changes for 2023
Here are some of the changes for the 2023 calendar year.- Central Florida Laps4Life, Inc has been incorporated and received its 501(c)3 approval from the IRS. This will permit us a bit of flexibility with regards to how you want your donation allocated.
- We have a new virtual home with our new website: CFLaps4Life.org.
- There will be two (2) donation allocation options to choose from when you donate. The default will be to the Ultrasound Program should no selection be chosen:
- The Knights of Columbus Ultrasound Initiative – A program that is an 100% matching grant from the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council for funds raised for ultrasound machines up to its annual cap.
- Knights of Columbus Aid and Support After Pregnancy (ASAP) – A program that is a 20% matching grant designed to help non-profit pregnancy resource centers offer a variety of services to pregnant women, new moms and babies, such as counseling about the alternatives to abortion; abstinence education; referrals for legal, medical, housing, and social services resources; prenatal and parenting education; maternity/baby clothes, diapers; free ultrasounds and pregnancy tests, and other support.
- The 2023 Laps for Life will include a Field Day for younger children which will include a soccer training program offered throughout the day (generally 15-20 minutes each) geared to PreK-3rd grade to help them with some of the basics. This will be in addition to the food, games, face painting and the like.
- Our goal for the 2023 Laps for Life, prior to any matching programs, will be $125,000.
