Patriot Mobile was honored to sponsor Council for Life’s 25th Anniversary Celebrating Life Luncheon on October 29, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. The annual pro-life event brought together supporters from across North Texas to celebrate 25 years of protecting unborn life and supporting women, children, and families.
Featuring keynote speaker Tim Tebow, the luncheon highlighted Council for Life’s decades of work advancing the sanctity of life and supporting life-affirming organizations throughout North Texas. This year’s theme, A Legacy of Love and Life, celebrated the lasting impact one act of compassion can have on mothers, children, families, and generations to come.
Celebrating 25 Years of Protecting Life and Supporting Mothers
Founded in 2001 by Ann Carruth and ten friends, Council for Life has spent 25 years educating communities about the sanctity of human life and raising funds for organizations that serve women facing unexpected pregnancies.
Luncheon co-chair Lynne Schott reflected on the generational impact that can begin when a mother receives the support she needs.
“One thing we know for certain is that offering support to one mother affects entire generations,” Schott said. “And that is what we mean by legacy.”
Attendees also heard powerful testimonies from women whose lives were changed through the support of local pregnancy resource organizations.
One mother became pregnant at age 15 and found help through a local pregnancy resource center. Today, her daughter is grown and has children of her own. Another mother received assistance while experiencing homelessness and raising two children. Her son later served in the U.S. Marine Corps and now volunteers with a pregnancy resource center.
Their stories demonstrated how supporting a mother in a difficult moment can create an impact that extends far beyond a single pregnancy.

Tim Tebow Challenges Pro-Life Supporters to Put Compassion Into Action
Keynote speaker Tim Tebow challenged attendees to move beyond simply believing in the pro-life mission and put those convictions into action by serving vulnerable mothers and children.
“I would rather be someone that did something than just felt something,” Tebow said.
Tebow shared the story of his own birth, recounting the serious medical complications his mother experienced during pregnancy and his parents’ decision to continue the pregnancy despite recommendations that they consider abortion.
“I’m so grateful that I get to stand here because my mom and dad trusted God to give me a chance,” Tebow said.
He also shared the testimony of a former abortion counselor who described witnessing a procedure involving a 16-week-old unborn baby. According to her account, she saw the baby move away from the instruments during the procedure. Afterward, she recalled the doctor saying, “Yeah, sometimes they’re fighters.”
Tebow told the audience the story caused him to consider who should be fighting on behalf of children who cannot fight for themselves.
“Because that boy isn’t the one that’s supposed to be fighting. I am,” Tebow said.
He also challenged men to take greater responsibility as fathers and protectors and encouraged attendees to give generously of their time, resources, and talents to help mothers and protect unborn children.
“What if we decided to give our first and our best to this fight?” he asked.
Supporting Life-Affirming Organizations Across North Texas
Council for Life set a goal of raising more than $2 million in 2026 to support 33 life-affirming organizations serving women, children, and families.
These organizations provide critical services throughout North Texas, including:
- Pregnancy care and resources
- Maternity housing
- Parenting education and support
- Adoption services
- Post-abortion healing and support
Together, these organizations help women facing difficult or unexpected pregnancies find practical resources, compassionate care, and hope for the future.
