In October of 2009, the first of two Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers opened in Land O’ Lakes to provide compassionate help during an unplanned pregnancy. In May 2013, a second center opened in Wesley Chapel. Over 1,400 families have received FREE services from Oasis including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, options counseling, parenting classes, support groups, pregnancy care information, and abortion recovery.
The mainly volunteer Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers, lead by Executive Director Peter Castellani, is now expanding the Wesley Chapel offices to meet the growing demand for services. In order to fund the expansion, continue meeting the demand for care and services, and raise awareness on the sanctity of life, Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers will host a benefit dinner on October 6, 2016.
The 8th Annual Legacy of Life Celebration is pleased to have Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco as the Honorary Chair for the fundraiser held at Spartan Manor in New Port Richey.
Doors open at 5:30pm with dinner at 6:30 followed by the entertainment and program. To volunteer at Oasis or help sponsor this lifesaving event and/or purchase tickets, call 814-406-4965, or visit www.HeartsforOasis.org.
