CPR on the Radio!!

The President of CPR, Jessi Bridges, will be interviewed on 'Voice of Life' on AM 1060 Thursday, November 19. We will post the air date and time as soon as we know.

For an idea of what Jessi will be discussing on the radio, please check out her previous blog post on the purpose and goals on CPR. It asks and answers many questions about how and why the club was started and it outlines several of the goals for the future. Here is a short excerpt:

Q: What will this group do to promote life on campus?

A: We offer alternatives to abortion. As it currently stands, there is almost no choice for students who find themselves pregnant while in college. Because of a lack of resources and help in areas such as housing, financial aid, childcare and general awareness, if a student decides to keep her baby, she has little chance of staying in school. They say women have a choice, but it seems like these students don't. We are on campus to promote the choice of life; to offer the choice of life.

As a club, we feel that promoting pro-life values and awareness does not stop with rallies, news articles, posters and t-shirts. We need to step out and do something more if a change is going to be made. That something more is to be the help and the aid these students and their babies so desperately need.

I hope you enjoy the article and the radio interview!!

A Report on Cupcakes for Life

Cupcakes for Life took place nationwide on October 9, but at UNLV, it was on Wed October 14th from 12-2 pm. Our student organization passed out over 300 cupcakes, thanks to some awesome volunteers who baked all of them for us and came to help pass them out! We also handed out over 20 pregnancy tests and 50 flyers with information about Campus Pregnancy Resources.

The event was a success!! We were able to give help to those who needed it and also get our name out on the campus. Below are some pictures from the event. Enjoy!!
