“I am glad to speak on behalf of an endeavor that recognizes the truth.

-Dave Dravecky, Motivational speaker and former major league pitcher
“I am so grateful for an organization that will hold true and stand firm in the midst of an incredible storm that is trying to destroy the moral fabric of our country... The Vitae Caring Foundation stands up and shouts, with a loud shout, that life is precious. It is a privilege to be a part of what they are doing.”

The Vitae Foundation gives voice to those who don’t have one, through the tools of today’s media. While expanding into a variety of web platforms, we have a rich history specializing in the production of televised media and purchasing airtime, in an effort to encourage a greater respect for human life, restore traditional values in our American culture, and reduce the number of abortions by using mass media education. Vitae is truly ‘bringing media to life ’
