Q: Why was I invited to attend the banquet?
A: We asked community members and current supporters of Caldwell Pregnancy Care Center to sponsor a table and invite guests. As a guest, you do not have to pay to attend the event. All the money that is raised on the night of the banquet goes directly back to CPCC, not to cover event costs. Therefore, you were invited as a friend to learn more about CPCC.

A: This year, we are proud to offer the Hope Night for Kids during the banquet. This special children’s event is for children and grandchildren of banquet attendees from birth to 14. The event will be from 6pm – 9pm at Waterlife Church in the Kids Area during the Caldwell Pregnancy Care Center’s fundraising banquet.
Q: Do I have to give money at the banquet?

Q: Do I have to have a ticket to attend?
A: Your table host provided your name and information to CPCC. You will receive a physical ticket in the mail with information, but it is not required for entrance to the banquet. You will check in at a table with your table number once you arrive on Thursday evening.
