Bella’s 23rd annual benefit Gala for Life will take place on Thursday, October 17, 2024, 6:30-8:30 pm at the Spearfish Holiday Inn Convention Center (off I-90, Exit 14). The event will feature a delicious banquet, an inspiring program, and an opportunity for attendees to offer their support of Bella’s mission to women and men in unplanned pregnancies.
This year’s Gala program will include special music, an annual update, a testimony from a client who received help at Bella, and a keynote address from Autumn Lindsey Higashi, who is a spokesperson for the national organization, Students for Life.
Bella is currently seeking table sponsors for the event.
Table Sponsorship
Bella’s table sponsors are the heart of the Gala for Life! They are businesses, churches, and individuals that not only partner with Bella to educate and impact Bella’s clients but encourage others to become involved with the life-affirming ministry of Bella through the Gala for Life.
Table sponsorship is just $200, which provides the table sponsor with tickets for eight to the Gala for Life. Table sponsors then invite people they know to join them at the Gala for Life as their guests, so they can introduce them to the life-affirming ministry of Bella. The semi-formal event includes dinner, an inspirational message, information about Bella’s ministry, testimonials, and an opportunity for attendees to make a financial contribution to Bella.
(Tables will be assigned in the order of responses received. Table sponsors will be acknowledged in the program and on your table. According to IRS guidelines, table sponsorship gifts are not tax-deductible.)
Becoming a Table Sponsor is Easy!
To sponsor a table using your credit card, you can complete the secure order form on the event information page or call Collette at (605) 642-4140. If you have any questions or would like more information about table sponsorship, please let us know.

Special Guest Speaker: Autumn Lindsey Higashi
We are thrilled to announce that Autumn Lindsey Higashi will be the keynote speaker at Bella’s October 17th Gala for Life. Please read through the following short bio on Autumn and then come hear her story first-hand at the Gala!
Autumn first became involved in the pro-life movement when she joined her local Students for Life group in October of 2016. In February of 2017, she filmed a rebuttal video in response to a Teen Vogue article that was making light of and promoting abortion. The video went viral, and Autumn found a platform to voice her passion for the pro-life movement.
Autumn now works as the Spokesperson for Students for Life and travels the country speaking at various events. She is newly married and living in Washington state with her husband, Nate. She hosts a show called Unapologetic, which educates the pro-life generation to speak in truth and love. She wants everyone to know why they believe what they believe.
