Rock For LIFE!

I am a member of Clemson University Students for Life! Students for Life is a national organization. 523 different colleges have this group nationwide. (I was SO happy when I saw that Clemson had one!)

"Clemson University Students for Life exists to organize and activate pro-life members of the University community and works to save lives that are threatened by induced abortion, euthanasia, and the destruction of human embryos for the purpose of research. Our members seek to promote respect for life at Clemson University and on a local, state, and national level by education on life issues, collaborating with other on common goals, and helping those in need so that life is a promising choice."

Yesterday, we participated in an event called the Rock for Life!

"Our next event will be a service project: helping run "Rock for Life" in Greenville, SC at Saint Joseph's School. This event is a pro-life rally on September 18 from 5:00-10:00 pm. It's designed for high schoolers in the Upstate SC area, complete with a band, speakers, and dinner. The organizers want Clemson students to help coordinate ice breakers, games, and help keep things running smoothly (plus, all Clemson volunteers get a free t-shirt!). They also hope that having pro-life college students at the event will have a positive impact on the high school students."

I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had there. We were there from about 4 - 10, and then went to get Frostys at a local Wendy's after! It was so wonderful to be surrounded by other people who believe that life is the greatest gift of all. Each child has a purpose and potential for LIFE! I love the people that I met at this event. I am truly looking forward to the next event/meeting with this great group of believers.
