Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center hosts Life is Beautiful dinner and silent auction

Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center hosted its seventh annual Life is Beautiful benefit dinner and silent auction March 4 at Michael's On East. 

The event started with a cocktail hour that included a silent auction and salads meals already ready for those who felt like taking their seats early in the ballroom. This year's event  — which also takes place March 5 — celebrated 18 years of the Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center and 1,000 new clients being served. After dinner, CEO Jennifer Carey spoke to the organization's mission of providing medical services and information to the community. The night also featured a Q&A session with Dr. Anthony Levatino, a former abortion provider.
