Local attorney Colleen Holcomb to serve as chairperson at this year’s annual Peninsula4Life Benefit Dinner taking place on October 20th at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.
Newport News, VA – This October 20th, more than 700 guests will gather at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton, Virginia, for the 37th annual Peninsula4Life Dinner benefitting Alcove Health, the Peninsula’s only no-cost women’s pregnancy health center. This annual event brings together local businesses, churches, and individuals to raise awareness and funds for the pregnancy clinic’s medical services and resources.
The 2023 banquet will be chaired by Colleen Holcomb, a partner at Holcomb Law, P.C. Colleen’s passion for the unborn has moved her to serve in multiple leadership roles with Care Net Peninsula and as the Executive Director of the Republican National Coalition for Life.
“Coretta Scott King said that ‘the greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.’ The Peninsula4Life Banquet has become a cherished tradition for the Peninsula community because it reflects that greatness,” said Holcomb. “The Care Net Peninsula team is serving on the frontlines, bringing hope and practical care to women facing crisis pregnancies. This banquet enables the community to share in and celebrate this vital work.”
The keynote speaker for the evening will be former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson of The Watson Seven. For more information or to donate online, please visit peninsula4life.org.
About Care Net Peninsula: Care Net Peninsula, founded in 1986 as Peninsula Crisis Pregnancy Center, is a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides no-costs services to women experiencing unplanned pregnancy. Care Net Peninsula operates a medical clinic in Newport News offering options counseling, ultrasounds, parenting support and more.
For almost 40 years, women facing their darkest days—pregnant, afraid, and alone—have found you waiting for them through the ministry of Care Net Peninsula and our free women’s clinic, Alcove Health.
One of the greatest privileges we have at Care Net Peninsula and Alcove Health is witnessing firsthand the way your generosity changes lives. Every gift you give becomes a lifeline of hope, strength, and encouragement for women right here in our community.
For years, our work has quietly and effectively saved lives. We’ve focused on the woman and baby in front of us, not politics. But today, I must step outside my comfort zone, and maybe yours too, to warn you about a threat that puts everything we do at risk.
Our silence comes at a cost. If this story helps even one man find Jesus, find his voice, or find healing, then it’s worth telling.
