(April 5, 2018) Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center in Berlin is an organization dedicated to providing a safe haven for women during their maternal years.

In the past seven years the center has served over 2,000 women and children by providing free pregnancy tests, ultrasound for pregnancy viability, parenting education and support groups.

These services can only continue to be provided here on the Lower Eastern Shore through the financial support of the community.

On Saturday, April 21, the organization will present its annual gala at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center on 40th Street in Ocean City to raise funds so that the ministry can continue to offer services.

The event will run from 5-10 p.m. and include fine dining, silent auction items, a 50/50 raffle, dancing and special features. A financial invitation will be extended during the evening so that participants can partner with the center.

Special guests will be Nikki Leonti Edgar and her husband who were top 10 contenders on America’s Got Talent, making it to the semifinals in 2016. Edgar will share her personal journey as a teen mom as well as her singing talent.

Reservations may be made by contacting the Shirley Grace Pregnancy Center at 443-513-4124 or by email at sgpregnancycenter@gmail.com. Visit www.sgpcenter.com.

The cost is $25 a person and must be paid by the reservation deadline of April 11.
