The Red Rose Dinner
6:00pm-8:30pm

Cost: $85
Women’s Care Center of Northeast Indiana is hosting a new event this August called The Red Rose Dinner. This elegant garden party will be held inside Trine University’s Athletic Recreation Center (ARC) and it will feature a 4-course meal with wine pairings curated by two award winning chefs as well as soft, live music by an area band.
The Red Rose Dinner is an evening honoring motherhood. We will be acknowledging the beauty and sacrifice of all mothers (biological, adoptive, spiritual) as we come together to celebrate the mission of Women’s Care Center—empowering mothers to choose LIFE for their babies.
Our Auburn office has now served more than 1,300 women and saved 900 babies from abortion in less than 4 years. Proceeds will go towards Women’s Care Center’s endowment fund — ensuring our center will be around to save the next 900 babies years from now.
Will you help us plan for the future by attending The Red Rose Dinner?
Tickets are $85 each and can be purchased online at www.bit.ly/RedRoseDinner2020
