The Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre is hosting a Fall Gala to ensure it is here to walk alongside women and their families in the face of an unexpected pregnancy.

“We are raising hope in the hearts of women and it's the theme, to be part of the transformation,” explains the Office Manager of the Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre,  Gordana Kosanovic. “It's a fully catered dinner, desserts, coffee, and non-alcoholic drinks. 100 per cent of all donations made that evening go towards supporting the work of the centre.”

“We're going to have lots of door prizes, a special MC to be announced and we're launching our exclusive brand of coffee that we'll be selling first at the gala.”

The funds raised from the event will go a long way towards various programs, counseling resources, and supplies the centre needs on a daily basis to support Cochranites.

Kosanovic says the demand at the centre has skyrocketed over the past year. “When I started about eight months ago, we were seeing maybe three to four clients a week and now it's like nine to 10 a day.”

“All donations, support, and proceeds go right back into the centre so we can continue our work.”

Tickets for The Raising Hope Fall Gala are free and can be found here. It will be hosted at the Cochrane Alliance Church on Fri, 18 November 2022.
