“Last year, we mobilized the Youth Vote to celebrate Life after Roe v. Wade’s demise. Now, we’re building on our momentum to create even more pro-life victories – calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood while also fighting for equal protections for preborn lives,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “But we have to protect Life in service as well as in law. We will be hosting the Nation’s Largest Diaper Drive and honoring pro-life heroes at our gala, to show those leading our country that when Planned Parenthood and Big Abortion are cut, help is already available.”

The National Celebrate Life Day Events in Washington, D.C. will occur June 27-29, 2025.
