Pam Tebow, was the special guest speaker Tuesday night at the Plant City Pregnancy Care Center’s annual banquet, held at the John R. Trinkle Center on the Plant City campus of Hillsborough Community College.
Tebow, mother of Heisman Trophy winner and current New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow, shared stories of overcoming setbacks in her life, including when she was advised by doctors to have an abortion for health reasons while carrying Tim.
The theme of this year’s banquet was “Embracing the Destiny,” as the center strives to promote pro-life choices and help women and men become ready and loving mothers and fathers.
The Plant City Pregnancy Care Center recently re-opened with a full renovation on N. Collins Street. According to executive director Darlene Davis, the center has served 1,468 clients since last year’s banquet, comparing itself to larger centers in Brandon and Tampa.
The center offers a unique earn as you learn program where clients earn credits to purchase needed baby items by taking various parenting classes.
