Hey, BBB Liaisons!
In this portal, you’ll find all the tools you need to make Baby Bottle Boomerang (BBB) a simple and impactful fundraising campaign with your church.
Pray. Learn. Give.
This year, we’re excited to expand BBB’s impact by offering more ways for congregants to lean into Thrive’s mission. The Pray, Learn, Give format makes it easy for your congregation to engage with BBB through prayer and learning—which amplifies the impact of their gifts, and makes BBB accessible to everyone even if they aren’t able to give. Here’s the main BBB page where your congregation can explore ways to pray, learn, and give!
Your church’s participation in BBB will empower people who are vulnerable to abortion to make a pregnancy decision from a place of courage and confidence, instead of fear and desperation. You can empower them to be able to choose life for their baby, and provide the love, support, and solutions they need to thrive as parents. Thank you for participating!

Mother’s Day Patient Video
This powerful video tells the story of a mother of two finding her strength and the courage to choose life, even when her unplanned pregnancy felt overwhelming. You’ll get to see how your gifts to Thrive are impacting families right here in our community, along with words from this patient directly to the mothers in your congregation—making it the perfect way to kick off BBB on Mother’s Day!
