Community Raises Funds for Reproductive Health with Pie Night

Laramie Reproductive Health brought its Pie in the Sky fundraiser to the Lincoln Community Center on November 21, drawing community members and local leaders for an evening of food, entertainment, and philanthropy. Devine Eats provided a catered dinner while guests bid on desserts and artwork at an auction and bought raffle tickets to support the nonprofit clinic. Attendees were also invited to donate menstrual products in exchange for a complimentary drink ticket as part of a drive to bolster supplies for clients.

The program included a lighthearted pieing of volunteer candidates, with participants that had been listed on the event page including the police chief, a University of Wyoming coach, the LRH executive director, and several city council members. The presence of these community figures highlighted broad local support for the clinic and helped draw attention to the needs served by Title X based programs in Albany County.

Proceeds from the evening will go toward LRH services that focus on family planning and reproductive health for people who are underinsured or uninsured. Title X based services typically cover contraception, screenings, and counseling aimed at reducing barriers to care, and local advocates say sustaining these services matters for residents who lack affordable alternatives.

Beyond dollars raised, the event served as a community touch point, connecting volunteers, providers, and clients in a shared space. The donation drive for menstrual products addressed an immediate practical need, and the auction and raffle provided both fundraising revenue and public visibility for the clinic. Hosting the fundraiser at the Lincoln Community Center underscored the clinics role as a local resource and continued the centers work as a gathering place for civic activity.

Organizers encouraged attendees and other residents who want to support reproductive health access in Albany County to follow LRH announcements for future events and donation opportunities. For many in the community the evening combined entertainment with a focused effort to maintain essential health services for neighbors who might otherwise go without care.
