Gaylord Teens Support Prolife Work

For five years, teenagers who are home-schooled in the Gaylord area have been raising money for Right to Life of Michigan. In the first few years they would put on car washes or bake sales as a way of raising money about $300 to $400 dollars a year. In the last two years, they’ve used a silent auction as their preferred fund-raising method. Each teen does something to add items to the auction, be it baking, chopping wood, or canvassing local businesses to donate an item.

At Gaylord Right to Life’s dinner this year, on May 10th, the teens presented a check for approximately $1500 to the prolife cause. More than 20 home-schooled teenagers assisted in the silent auction. Sherry Castle who helps the teens organize their fund-raising efforts says that “this is a heartfelt ministry” for the teens.
