About the Banquet:
It’s that time of year again! Our 2024 Annual Banquet for The HOPE Center will be Wednesday, October 9th from 6:30-9pm at Cobb Galleria Centre! Every year, we are amazed by the way the Lord shows up and surpasses what we could ask, hope or imagine at our annual banquet.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. William Lile, the “Pro-Life Doc” as our keynote speaker. Dr. Lile has been a prolific voice in the Pro-Life Movement for over thirty years. He builds his practice as a board certified OB/GYN on the belief that, “a patient is a person, no matter how small.”
Our Annual Banquet is reliant upon the generosity and commitment of our sponsors, Table Hosts, and guests. Table Hosts play a vital role in the success of the banquet as they are responsible for filling one or more tables with guests that will be moved by The HOPE Center’s mission and vision. Guests are then given an opportunity to partner with us financially and / or let us know how they would like to become involved with The HOPE Center. We would be honored for you to consider partnering with us as a Table Host in an effort to achieve our 2024 goals.

In addition to our Keynote Speaker, you can expect to hear incredible testimonies of the work God has done in and through The HOPE Center not just in 2023-2024, but for the past 30+ years. We are so excited to see you there!
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER: DR. WILLIAM LILE, D.O., FACOG
Dr. Lile is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and is the former OB/GYN Department Chair. He is licensed to practice medicine in both Florida and Alabama and has served as an instructor with both The University of Florida and Florida State Medical School OB/GYN residency programs.
In 1999, Dr. William Lile, the “ProLife Doc”, took over a practice that was the largest provider of abortion services in Pensacola, Florida. On day one, he stopped any and all abortion services and abortion referrals. The clinic’s former abortionist retired and left the country. Today, Dr. Lile uses that clinic’s abortion equipment to demonstrate the brutality of abortions performed in all three trimesters, while the tools of modern obstetrics have become instruments for his pro-life ministry! That’s because Dr. Lile believes that the life and personhood of the preborn can only be understood through love and empowered education.
The ProLife Doc is passionate about providing quality healthcare to all of his patients – inside and outside of the womb. Abortion is never the right ‘choice’, but Dr. Lile’s message, though borrowed from Jesus Christ, is a clear one – forgiveness is available to all through His blood.
