Come join us for the 32nd Annual LIFE Dinner! The LIFE Dinner will take place on Thursday, April 9th, 2026 from 5pm to 8:30pm at the Peosta Community Center (note the change in venue). Come for the delicious food, an excellent keynote address, and a night to honor Life.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, there is no cost to attend. Our LIFE Dinner is an incredible evening to come together to socialize with like-minded individuals and financially support pro-life efforts in our community. Together, we can make abortion and assisted suicide unthinkable.
This year, we are excited to welcome Mayra Rodriguez as our keynote speaker.
Meet Our Speaker

Mayra Rodriguez is the former director of the largest Planned Parenthood clinic in Arizona. She worked for Planned Parenthood for 17 years, managing several affiliates and receiving the Employee of the Year award in 2016. She felt she was living the American Dream, until she began to notice and report instances of critical safety and health-related violations including incomplete abortions, falsification of patient records, illegal conduct, unreported statutory rape, severe injuries by abortion and high complication rates with a specific abortionist. She was fired in October 2017, after which she filed a wrongful termination lawsuit. In August of 2019, a jury of her peers unanimously awarded her $3 million in damages done by Planned Parenthood.
Come hear her share her story of going from one of abortion’s strongest supporters to a pro-life advocate, defending the lives of vulnerable pre-born children.
