Seth Dillon, owner and CEO of The Babylon Bee
Seth Dillon, owner and CEO of the Babylon Bee, will keynote the 28th Annual Rose Dinner. Attendees will have the opportunity to support a passionately pro-life cause, and enjoy an evening of laughter.
For those unfamiliar with Dillon and the Babylon Bee, Seth has a passion for the Truth, and has earned national renown with his clean, witty humor. Here’s a sample from the Bee’s website:
Christians, you might have noticed, have their own unique way of talking that can seem like a completely different language. To help you translate, the Babylon Bee has compiled this handy updated guide to Christian phrases:
“Let’s take some time to posture our hearts before we start worship”: The media guy can’t find the lyrics slide.
“Please consider if the Lord might be leading you to volunteer in the nursery”: There’s literally no one watching your children right now; it’s Lord of the Flies back there.
“Quiet time”: Nap time.
“Lord, I just want to echo Bob’s prayer”: I forgot it was my turn to pray.
“We don’t have small groups here, we have Gospel-centered missional families”: We have small groups and a thesaurus.
“I’m working to keep pursuing my wife’s heart”: I’m rinsing the dishes.
Registration will be available soon.
To view sponsorship levels please select either C3 or C4 Sponsorship Button.
See below for description of C3 vs C4 Sponsorship.
You can choose where your sponsorship money will go.
WVFL has a C3 branch, and C4 branch. Both are non-profit.
Donations to the C3 are tax-deductible, as charitable contributions. But the only thing we can do with that money is educate.
Donations to the C4 are not tax-deductible. For this reason, the C4 is chronically under-funded. But we can do a lot more with the money. In addition to education, we can work to change or create laws. We can host a Capitol Rally and a State Convention.
Why is this so important?
The abortion pill crisis will not be solved by education alone. We need pro-life laws, and we need to elect representatives who will pass those laws. For example, in 2026, WVFL is supporting legislation that will add two key components to the continuing education requirement for medical personnel: 1) The life-threatening dangers that abortion pills pose to women; and, 2) Abortion pill reversal is safe and effective. This would help ensure that women who end up in the ER are properly diagnosed and treated, and that women who change their mind are given the life-saving help they request. But, legally, WVFL must have C4 money to do this work.
In 2024, 90% of Americans took the Standard Deduction on their taxes. If you are in this group, that means it does not make a penny of difference on your taxes whether you give to the C3 or the C4. Therefore, if you are in this group, would you please consider checking the C4 box on the Commitment Card directing your Rose Dinner money to the C4? If you are in the small minority of people who itemize your deductions, we certainly understand if you would prefer to give to the C3.
Please know that WVFL is very grateful for every donation we receive – large or small, no matter where it is designated! And, we do our best to use every penny responsibly, so that we can save as many lives as possible. Thank you so much for your generous support!
Would you please consider helping to reach West Virginia women with the truth about abortion pills? You can do this by becoming a Rose Dinner Sponsor.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors in 2025, West Virginians for Life was able to launch “Don’t Swallow the Lie!” This life-saving campaign is designed to teach the truth about the dangers of abortion pills (a.k.a. chemical abortion). Most mothers and babies are protected from all methods of abortion in West Virginia. But West Virginia women are being lured into obtaining pills from out-of-state – which adds more risk to an already-dangerous drug.
Don’t Swallow the Lie billboards direct viewers to an excellent website: DontSwallowTheLie.com. The site features immediate help for those interested in abortion pill reversal. It quickly and simply teaches the truth about the dangers of taking the pill.
