Additional Information
A Higher Purpose
Save lives and help women choose life by giving them the opportunity to view their unborn children on ultrasound machines at pro-life pregnancy centers. This initiative is funded by the Arizona Knights of Columbus State Council with matching grants from the Supreme Council’s Culture of Life Fund.
Overview
The Knights of Columbus works together as an organization to purchase ultrasound machines for qualifying pregnancy centers. After the State Council raises 50% of the cost, the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council will provide the other 50% to complete funding for purchase of an ultrasound. Or, if the Council raises 100% of the cost of a vehicle outfitted to serve as a mobile medical unit for a pregnancy center, the Supreme Council will provide 100% of the funds for an ultrasound machine to be used in that vehicle.
Arizona Ultrasound Initiative
The Arizona Knights of Columbus State Council is very grateful for all the hard work of the Arizona Councils and Assemblies that have provided funds to purchase machines for:
Aid To Women Center
