She is one of the most talked-about women of our time, and this September you'll get to hear her speak on behalf of our most vulnerable women and children.

Riley Gaines will serve as keynote speaker at the 53rd anniversary banquet of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, taking place Friday, September 25, 2026 at the Boston Marriott Newton.

Riley Gaines first gained national attention following the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship, where her experience competing against a biological male led her to become a national advocate for fairness, women’s dignity, and the protection of the most vulnerable. Since then, she has spoken across the country, encouraging audiences to stand with courage and conviction when human dignity is at stake.

Her message reflects the very mission that has guided MCFL’s work for more than five decades. This anniversary evening offers a unique opportunity to hear her story in person while celebrating 53 years of pro life action in Massachusetts.

Guests will enjoy an elegant evening featuring passed hors d’oeuvres, a three course plated dinner with entrée selection, dessert, and a program highlighting both recent victories and the work ahead.
