The founder of a national anti-abortion organization is set to provide the keynote address tonight during an annual Dubuque County Right to Life event.

The organization is holding its 24th annual L.I.F.E. Dinner at the Grand River Event Center.

Marian Bourek, the nonprofit’s executive director, said the dinner is the only major fundraising event Dubuque Right to Life holds each year. Along with celebrating the organization’s accomplishments, seven local students also received scholarships for advocacy.

Along with dinner, attendees will be treated to a speech from Mary Ann Kuharski, 70, founder and director of nonprofit Prolife Across America.
