2016 Light of Hope Gala Features Guiding Star’s Leah Jacobson & Abby Johnson and Obria Medical Clinic’s Kathleen Eaton Bravo

April 8, 2016 - US based Obria and The Guiding Star Project leadership joined forces in Tampa, Florida in support of Guiding Star Tampa on Thursday evening April 7, 2016. Keynote speakers included Abby Johnson, pro life activist and former Planned Parenthood Director, Kathleen Eaton Bravo, founder of Obria Medical Clinics, and Leah Jacobson, founder of The Guiding Star Project.

In 2015, LifeChoices Women's Care affiliated with The Guiding Star Project to become Guiding Star Tampa. Guiding Star Tampa is the next stage of the pro-woman & pro-life movement. Guiding Star Tampa provides natural, holistic, pro-woman, pro-family care. Today they offer a comprehensive center that provides support for natural means of family planning, pregnancy support for planned and unplanned pregnancies, fertility care, childbirth, breastfeeding, and family life.

Ana Hidalgo Stooks, Executive Director of Guiding Star Tampa, “Last year our leadership team at LifeChoices made a bold decision - we needed to create “a game changer”. We took a leap of faith and expanded. In July we doubled the size of our facility and in doing so nearly doubled the amount of women and families we were serving.”

"The overarching goal in collaborating at a national level," explained Kathleen Eaton Bravo, Founder and CEO of Obria, "is to galvanize the courageous leadership of many pro-life organizations and form an alliance to compete with retail, independent and online abortion providers." Leah Jacobson, President and Founder of The Guiding Star Project, expanded on Eaton Bravo's statement, "Working together nationally and through local affiliate partners, we will have a greater impact in saving babies, reaching more youth, honoring the feminine abilities, and strengthening women and families by serving these needs in a comprehensive manner consistent with natural law and Christian morality.“ Obria and The Guiding Project announced their national partnership in 2015. Abby Johnson, Pro-Life speaker, author, and Guiding Star Board Member expressed her excitement over the partnership, “The continuity of care aspect of this partnership is very exciting to me. To think that a woman can walk into a Guiding Star center and visit the Obria Clinic anywhere in the country and not experience a lapse in her medical care or her medical records – this is game changing.”

The 2016 Light of Hope Gala was a record breaking event for Guiding Star Tampa, brining in nearly $180,000 in support for their continued expansion.
