Thank you to everyone who reserved a seat. We look forward to seeing you at the banquet on September 25.

Join us and our special guest, Riley Gaines, at fall's biggest event.

For 53 years, Massachusetts Citizens for Life has defended human life in the Commonwealth with clarity, courage, and perseverance. This anniversary dinner is more than a celebration. It is a chance to strengthen our mission, support the work ahead, and stand for life.

The keynote address will be delivered by Riley Gaines. A 12-time All-American swimmer and five-time SEC champion, Riley became nationally known after being forced to compete against a biological male at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship and watching officials refuse to stand up for women. That experience launched her advocacy for fairness, women’s dignity, and the protection of the most vulnerable.

Today, Riley speaks boldly for women, for truth, and for the sanctity of life. Her message reflects the heart of MCFL’s work: silence is not an option when human dignity is at stake.

Join us for an engaging evening featuring inspiring reflections on recent victories, a clear look at the challenges ahead, and a few surprises we can’t wait to share. Enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres, a three-course plated dinner, and a cash bar. Dinner includes a fresh seasonal salad, a choice of herb-roasted organic chicken or a vegetarian entrée, and a classic cheesecake dessert.

Plus, we can’t wait to introduce you to this year’s surprises.
