CARRIED TO FULL TERM’S inaugural fundraising event, Life is a Gift, will be held Friday, December 2, 2016 from 6:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m. at the Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville and will feature Congresswoman Barbara Comstock as their featured speaker. Life is a Gift is our major annual fundraising drive and this year’s sold out festivities include a reception, silent auction, dinner, dancing, speakers and more. All proceeds will benefit CARRIED TO FULL TERM (CTFT). CTFT does not receive funding from outside agencies and that is why the community’s support is necessary.
CTFT is a nonprofit organization caring for women in need and the brainchild of Executive Director, Frances Robin. CTFT focuses on preparing expectant mothers to live independently. On November 1st they welcomed their first mom into the house.
