This year the theme was Onward, a reflection on the first 50 years of pregnancy help work and a nod to the future of the movement. Heartbeat conducted a virtual Conference concurrent to the in-person Conference. The 2020 Conference was entirely virtual following the initiation of coronavirus lockdowns. The 2021 Conference was hybrid of in-person and virtual.
Heartbeat International Vice President of Mission Advancement Cindi Boston-Bilotta presented the anniversary awards.
“It is an honor to present the awards to people and organizations that have such incredible dedication that they've given their community,” she said. “The Christian community has rallied to save lives right there in their hometown. It's an honor to celebrate people who have done this incredible work.”
