Life Cards -- Let us know what you think!

Thank you for your interest in Lakeshore Pregnancy Center's Life Cards. We would love to have your input. Please leave us a message by clicking on "comments" below each card. You can also share the cards you like with friends by clicking the envelope image under each card. Thank you! Here is what Chris, the executive director of CPC's of Eastern Illinois had to say about their purchase of 2,000 Life Cards last year:

"Thanks so much for making these wonderful cards available to us. We have tried to make our own in the past but they did not hold a candle to the beauty and quality of the ones you have created!
We used yours for the first time last year and will admit that we were a little apprehensive about having your center's name as the source but, then were
amazed when our gifts totaled over $17,000.00! May the cards continue to
bless your center as you have blessed ours!"

Welcome to Lakeshore Pregnancy Center Life Cards site. Over the past five years, we have distributed over a quarter million cards to hundreds of pregnancy care centers nationwide. Our Life Cards are distributed by Lakeshore Pregnancy Center. We started designing the cards for our donor list as a thank you for past support and an appeal for year-end giving. Our donors loved the cards. Several of our donors say they save and frame each new card. Our year end giving dramatically increased, and upon the suggestion of our donors, we have offered the cards to other pregnancy care centers for the past six years. Each card uses as models, the children of our actual clients, while highlighting their client stories. They are professionally photographed by Steve Kammeraad of Kammeraad Photography who has graciously given us all rights to the images used to create the cards for your centers.

The cards come creased, which provides a professional look when you are ready to hand or machine fold them. The images displayed below are meant to provide you with an idea of what the cards look like. The cards are printed as is illustrated. For example, The "FRONT" is the side you'll see when the card is closed and you are reading the cover. The "BACK" is what you'll see when the card is closed and you are reading the back. The "INSIDE" is what you see when you open the card, this is the blank space in which you can print your own message. New this year--"Mother Mary" card with pre-printed greeting.
