Events . . .
Shown below are several current or past fundraising events to benefit Safe Harbor.
35K in 35 Days! - Fall 2024
To help us meet the financial challenges of rising costs, we held a fall fundraiser. As we celebrate 35 years of service in our community, it was our goal to raise $35,000 in 35 days from October 2, 2024 through November 5, 2024 (Election Day).
A team of generous donors agreed to match every donation dollar for dollar up to $35,000!
Donations are still coming in, but we far exceeded our goal with over $62,000 received. With the $35,000 in matching donations, our overall total is over $97,000!
We celebrate election day victories along with this amazing outcome. A few donors provided gifts toward this campaign to celebrate these pro-life legislative victories.
Thanks to all of our financial partners for this amazing outcome! Lives will be saved and transformed as a result!
Baby Bottle Boomerang
The annual BBB promotion is a fun way for all members of the family to get involved and provide much-needed funding for Safe Harbor. Liaisons from local churches or organizations provide empty baby bottles to their church members or employees. Families fill the bottles with loose change, dollars, and even checks. The bottles are then returned to the liaisons who take them to the bank and deposit the money. This is an amazing fund-raiser that resulted in over $70,000 in 2022 and 2023. If your church or organization has never participated, perhaps you might volunteer to be the coordinator. Please discuss it with your pastor or leadership and let us know if you’d like to get involved.
Many schedule the event to coincide with Sanctity of Life Month in January. However, other churches and organizations begin in May to coincide with Mother's Day. Some even hold their events during VBS in the summer. The event will run all year, so it may be scheduled at any time. A few years ago, we added an option to collect funds online through credit card donations.

Partnership with Seven Weeks Coffee
We are excited to announce a new partnership with Seven Weeks Coffee, a pro-life coffee company that donates 10% of every sale to pregnancy care centers across the country. Why did they choose the name Seven Weeks? At seven weeks of development a baby is the size of a coffee bean—and for the first time, a heartbeat is clearly detectable.
When you purchase through the link on the right, Safe Harbor will receive 15% of your purchase—every time! Click on the heartbeat image for more information or to purchase!
Micah 6:8 Run/Walk for Life
This annual event is organized by Micah 6:8, a group of men in Pensacola, who live by the principle to do justice, love mercy, and to walk humbly before God. Safe Harbor is blessed with the proceeds from this event.
The 2024 event was held January 20, 2024 with over 500 registered. Thanks to the Micah men, all the sponsors, and the participants for another great year!
Baby Bottle Bonanza - 2023
In mid 2023, we introduced the Baby Bottle Bonanza! This fundraiser was similar to the Baby Bottle Boomerang we have been doing for many years! Instead of providing physical baby bottles to churches and organizations, the event was entirely VIRTUAL with individual fundraisers rather than churches and organizations.
Though it started out slowly, by the end of December, we raised $74,692, surpassing our $50,000 goal for this fundraiser. Thanks to those of you that participated as a fundraiser! And thanks to each of you that donated to help us reach our goal! Your gifts will help us minister to families as lives are saved and transformed daily!

33-Day Summer Challenge - 2022
To celebrate 33 years of service in our community, we held a 33-day Summer Challenge between June 29 and July 31, 2022. This was similar to our “Shine the Light” fundraiser held in the summer of 2021.
The 2022 event was called “More Than Conquerors” and we encouraged our ministry partners to join us as we stand in strength to protect the precious. Similar to 2021, individuals and teams raised funds for us in a variety of ways and we were amazed at the creativity of our participants.
In the end our teams raised just under $60,000! We are considering what events we will hold in the future, so watch for details! We hope you will prayerfully consider joining us in an upcoming event!
32-Day Summer Challenge - 2021
To celebrate 32 years of service in our community, we held a 32-day summer challenge called "Shine the Light." This event officially ran from June 28 through July 29, 2021, but donations continued to come in for several months. In the end, we raised over $100,000!
Teams and individuals in our community raised funds for Safe Harbor in a variety of creative ways. Some held events including a "Trash to Cash" yard sale, an afternoon of bowling, an art auction, a car wash, and many others. Two teams combined their efforts and held a BBQ followed by a Bluegrass concert. A few of our fundraising teams were comprised of teens!
Many lives were impacted and we continue to hear encouraging stories.
Annual Fundraising Banquet
Prior to the pandemic, we held a fundraising dinner each spring. During this event, we gathered with around 500 people and shared a wonderful evening of excellent food, informative ministry highlights, encouraging client testimonies, and an inspiring speaker.
We were scheduled to host this event in April, 2020, but we had to reschedule due to Covid-19. This event was an online event that premiered November 19, 2020. We have had so many positive and encouraging comments. If you missed it, please use the link below to view it. You will be blessed!
