The Heartbeat Gala provides the pro-life community with an opportunity to come together in support of what God is doing at A Choice to Make.
The funds received at this event support our mission to empower women and men facing unplanned pregnancies to make life-affirming choices by speaking the truth, showing respect, sharing the love of Christ, and offering support.
We are excited for you to hear client testimonials, as our clients are the heartbeat of what we do! Plus, we will have a special guest speaker, Toni McFadden.
Hear from Author Toni McFadden
For Toni, one cold, dreary day in mid-January changed everything. A scared teenage girl faced an unplanned pregnancy. She thought the only way out of her darkness was through the doors of an abortion facility. Author of the book, Redeemed: My Journey after Abortion, Toni is a pro-life advocate and international speaker who shares her abortion story of regret with transparency while leaving her listeners with hope.
A featured speaker at the first annual Pennsylvania March for Life in Harrisburg and at the 2022 National March for Life in Washington, D.C., Toni has co-written op-eds for Students for Life of America, Live Action, Newsweek, and was recently featured in the Washington Post. She has also appeared on Victory News Channel, 700 Club, and Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk Show.
Toni holds a bachelor’s degree from West Chester University and her master’s degree in Biblical Counseling from Clark’s Summit University. She is currently pursuing her licensure in counseling. She was the former Relationship Educator and Director of Relationship Education Program in the greater Philadelphia area for 6 years and has shared this program internationally in Africa and Israel.
Toni has been married to her wonderful husband, Kris McFadden, and they have four beautiful children. She loves helping people see their worth and giving them hope through her own story, being an advocate for the unborn, being a stay-at-home mom, and spending time with her family and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.
