Many thanks to all who participated and donated that may not be mentioned, please know that without all of you none of this would be possible.
The Ultrasound Initiative has provided an opportunity for the Michigan Councils to install 55 units in clinics around the state. This is a great gift and tool for the facilities helping them promote their life saving position, but it is the just beginning of the Knights commitment to this tool. Continuing support is needed such as repair and warranty cost of the unit and other necessities the clinic uses to support the new mothers. To find a clinic near your council, click here to see a list of the clinics that have received a unit thru the Knights program and consider supporting one.
And last but far from least, let us not forget Supreme Council Knights of Columbus for their matching funds program which has surpassed its original goal of 1,000 Life Saving Ultrasound Machines Order wide.
God bless, Tim & Cindy Donovan Michigan State Pro Life Chair Couple Knights of Columbus
