Knights Can’t Order Fast Enough!
When someone gave Pete Driscoll, State Pro-Life
and Decency Chairman for Pennsylvania Knights
of Columbus, a pair of Precious Feet, they didn’t
know what they were starting. Pete was so moved by
them that he bought 250 pair with his own money.
He took those to a meeting with the District Depu-
ties and shared their significance. He sold the 250 on
the spot and took orders. His next order was for 2,000
and he immediately sold out. His next order was for
3,000 and most of those were already pre-sold! Heav-
en knows how many he has ordered
since then. The reason the Precious
Feet were so popular with the Knights
of Columbus was both their message
and their potential for fund-raising.
Pete sold them to the District Depu-
ties for a few nickels above cost and
made $500 profit. The District Depu-
ties took them to their local Knights of
Columbus meetings and sold them for
$1.00 each, making a 40% profit. The
local groups made a profit of $1,000!
Pete Driscoll was amazed at how well
the Precious Feet sold. He was thrilled
that he could be part of spreading the
Pro-Life message in such a simple and
effective way!
Knives, Spoons, Forks and Precious Feet
Save-A-Life Ministries in Mobile, AL use the Pre-
cious Feet to raise funds at their annual banquet.
When they set their table for their banquet, they place
a pair of Precious Feet next to the program. When
people commit to a donation they take the Precious
Feet as a token of that commitment.
Say “Thanks”With Your Feet!
National Right to Life gives a pair of Precious Feet for
every new membership or membership renewal. Your
group also can make this offer through your newsletter
or membership promotion. People expect to receive a
confirmation of their donation and membership. Send-
ing a pair of Precious Feet is an excellent way to say,
“Thank you”, and reminds your supporters daily of their
commitment to the Pro-Life cause and to your group.
The Ideas
In the Back of Your Church
Many Pro-Life groups throughout the country sell
the Precious Feet at a table set up in the back of their
church. Some do this in conjunction with special Pro-
Life services in January or October. Others have a
permanent display in the church lobby with Precious
Feet, literature and other Pro-Life items that they sell
every Sunday.
Cakes, Cookies and Precious Feet
The Alaska Teens for Life (membership - 350!) holds
bake sales where they also sell the Pre-
cious Feet. According to their presi-
dent Mary Rubbelman, the Precious
Feet sell very well and are a main part
of their fund-raising. She says, “The
feet sell themselves.”
Fat Free Fundraiser
Private schools are always having fund-
raising sales. The favorite fundraiser
is candy. But candy is high in fat and
bulky to carry. Many schools around
the country have decided to sell some-
thing that actually spreads the Pro-Life
message - the Precious Feet. Teens and
kids LOVE the Precious Feet. In Snow-
flake Public High School, the Teens for
Life sold Precious Feet to boys and girls alike. They are
now being worn on ball caps, coats, book bags, etc.
The wonderful thing about getting the Precious Feet
on teens is that they have the most exposure to other
teens that may be considering an abortion.
A Favorite at the Fair
Many Right to Life groups and other Pro-Life organi-
zations have booths at county or state fairs. The Feet
are one of their main fundraisers. If you need help
planning what materials to have at your booth along
with the Precious Feet, call our customer service rep-
resentative. They would love to help you! Flo Calla-
way of Arizona Right to Life says, “We have people
who come looking for our booth to buy the ‘little feet.’
We always run out because they are so popular. They
really do sell themselves!”
“Pete Driscoll was amazed at how well the
Precious Feet sold.”
