2015 Board of Directors
Dear friends,
Because of you, 2014 was a year of progress and growth at
Birthline. God blessed your giving and in total, more than 3,700
people aged 14-50 were served, along with 296 babies! Your
prayers, charitable support and volunteer efforts made all the

difference in our ability to provide hope and healing, education,
and material support. On behalf of the students, young adults,
expectant parents, unborn children and infants, we thank you.
A few highlights:
Programs and Services: We expanded our sexual integrity,
relationship and abstinence education programs. By doing so,
we expect to see more people make healthy life choices and

reduce unintended pregnancies. And, we served a record number
of women and men in our Stepping Stones incentive program;
supporting life-affirming decisions, pre-natal health and long term
family stability.
Finances: The $30,000 Matching Grant challenge offered by
the A&B Winstrom Christian Family Foundation was a resounding
success. A special thank you to all the donors who went above and

Fr. Jerry Dalseth
beyond to help us raise $39,239 – all of it generously matched by
the Winstroms!
Stewardship: While we have always strived to be principled
stewards of the resources entrusted to us, this year, we raised
the bar. In our commitment to apply the highest standards of
excellence, we have begun the rigorous process to meet all the
Accountability Standards set by the Charities Review Council. You

can be confident that you are supporting a capable, trustworthy
organization.
Over the years, we’ve seen countless stories of life unfold; and it is
common for people to stop by and give us an update. It’s a good
reminder that our legacy is not in the numbers we serve each year,
but in the impact our services have on families in this community
for generations to come!

Our Mission:
Birthline is a Christian-based organization providing
education, mentoring, support services and referrals to
anyone affected by an unintended or crisis pregnancy.
CORE VALUES:
Our vision is that all people have the opportunity to make
life-affirming choices before, during and after pregnancy.
For that reason, we also promote healthy relationships,
sexual integrity and abstinence education to prevent
unplanned pregnancies.
• We believe in Christian family and marriage values.
As a charitable organization Birthline invests in people, not
just through ‘handouts’, but with programs that encourage
positive lifestyles, self-sufficiency, and family stability.
• We respect all human life.
• We serve people of all faiths.
• We provide positive alternatives to abortion.
• We promote long term self-reliance.
Birthline serves the broad Central Minnesota community.
The majority of our clients come from Stearns, Benton
and Sherburne Counties. The remaining are from
Wright, Morrison, Mille Lacs and other Central
Minnesota locations.

A WAY OF LIFE
Kevin and Amy Kluesner
Kevin and Amy Kluesner:
A Way of LIFE
Kevin and Amy Kluesner have been supporting Birthline for over 20 years; as they recall, they were
introduced to the mission by a member of their parish. Soon after, they both became actively involved.
Kevin served in the “Men of Birthline” mentor program to provide guidance to young fathers, and was
elected to the Board of Directors in 2004. Amy has a history of helping with Birthline’s signature event,
Evening for Life and regularly prays for Birthline and the women and men who need our services.
According to the Kluesners, “Financially, Birthline comes first in our nonprofit charitable giving. We
believe abortion is the greatest human life crisis of our time, and doing our part to protect the unborn - and
their mothers and fathers - is the reason we give.” They recognize the value of providing compassionate
care and practical support to help vulnerable women understand they have positive choices available to
them. And, they appreciate that pregnancy support centers, like Birthline, help in many ways: physically,
emotionally, financially and spiritually.
The Kluesners prefer to work behind the scenes to support their favorite cause. Encouraging others to learn
about the need, whether through church or community engagement, is a way of life for them. Sara Wolf,
Kevin and Amy
“...Birthline comes first in our
nonprofit charitable giving,”
says Kevin. “...doing our part to
protect the unborn – and
their mothers and fathers –
is the reason we give.”
Development Director describes them, “Whether they are bringing in a generous check, or dropping
off a box of diapers, Kevin and Amy remain very humble in their giving. Whenever they are recognized
for their contribution, they are quick to point out, it’s not about them”. They have seen the impact of
Birthline’s work in the community and know the free and confidential support has saved countless lives.
“Birthline has an outstanding, dedicated staff who are committed to giving accurate information so
women can make informed decisions about their pregnancy options. We see this is their vocation,
and they share their gifts to the fullest. They treat everyone with dignity and respect, serving with
unconditional love” says Amy. Kevin adds, “They don’t try to be a bigger organization than is needed to
get the work done. We appreciate their focus on stewardship”.

They are confident that Birthline’s mission will impact the community in such a way that a culture of
respect for all life will be seen more and more in generations to come.

“Emerge has helped me see my true value and potential. They taught me how to
go about having healthy relationships, standards, and to set goals for my life.”.
—Andrew, age 23
Stories of LIFE
Kelsey and Owen
Kelsey came to Birthline feeling confused and scared about her
pregnancy. Her family and boyfriend had been abusive to her and
she had nowhere to turn. In a previous pregnancy, she placed her
child for adoption and it was a positive experience for her. With
this pregnancy, she felt uncertain. Kelsey struggled with low selfesteem and never thought she was capable to parent a child.
After coming to Birthline, she was able to find a safe place to live
and make positive decisions about her future. She established
a budget, learned about the basics
of parenting, and moved
on from the negative
relationships in her life.
Kelsey now walks
with a confidence
and adores her son,
Owen. She has
created new and
healthy relationships
and cannot imagine her
life without her baby.
Emily, Derrick & Addisyn
Emily and Derrick found out they were going to have a baby
together in 2014 having hardly even known each other as a result
of a one night party. The news of her pregnancy shocked both
of them. They started coming to Birthline for direction in life and
in their relationship. They were trying to get through college and
had a lot ahead of them. The thought of a baby, with practically a
stranger, seemed overwhelming. How could they keep
this baby, finish college, and get a job? Emily also had
fears that she would not know anything about caring for
a baby and keeping one safe. They began to come to
appointments together, took relationship assessments,
communication assessments, and learned about coparenting, and baby safety. Through the course of these
classes, their relationship grew and they developed a
deep commitment for each other and their baby. They
are now looking into pre-marital counseling classes,
Derrick has purchased a house, he is finishing college,
and has a job all lined up. Baby Addisyn has brought a
joy to both of them they never knew possible.

OUR HISTORY
FINANCIALREPORT
Birthline is a Christian, 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that
has been serving central Minnesota since 1971. We were
originally founded as Birthright, but became independent
in mid-1980 and changed our name to Birthline. In the
last 44 years, we have served more than 75,000 women,
men and infants, and relied on the generosity of hundreds
of volunteers to accomplish our work.
Our purpose has always been to offer services to support
women and men facing an unplanned or crisis pregnancy.
To meet the changing need in the community, Birthline
has worked diligently to address the ongoing medical,
social, physical, financial, emotional and spiritual needs
of our clients; and has enhanced programs to support
improved pregnancy outcomes, family stability, and selfsufficiency. We have also maintained a strong connection
with a variety of community resources to further benefit
those we serve.
Since 2001, a growing focus has been placed on
abstinence education in middle and high schools through
Birthline’s HEART program. It has been the catalyst for
equipping teens with the skills necessary to have healthy
relationships and set positive boundaries. In 2013, we
expanded that program to include outreach to college
students, where we have been sharing the same message
of sexual integrity through our EMERGE program.
All services remain free of charge and are provided
in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental manner.

Mary Ann Fitzgerald: Executive Director, Birthline 1980-2000
Mary Ann was born on March 10,1935 and was raised on a family farm in North Dakota. She married Joseph Fitzgerald in
1956, and they dedicated their marriage to the Holy Family. During their 58 years together they helped each other in every
area of their lives. They lived their faith in service to their family and community.
Mary Ann taught elementary school for 16 years and was proud to say she began her career in a one room school house.
In 1970 the family moved to St. Joseph, Minnesota and she worked at the College of St. Benedict for 10 years. In 1980,
the Holy Spirit (and Alice Brown) directed Mary Ann to begin her 20 year position as the Executive Director of Birthline,
formerly Birthright.
While at Birthline, Mary Ann was known to be a beautiful, grace-filled woman of God. She touched the hearts and lives of
countless young women, men and their babies. And, she made a difference in the lives of all those who served with her.
Mary Ann died on August 23, 2014, with her husband Joe and her family at her side.
This tribute is dedicated to her memory by her friends at Birthline. She will be missed.

“Birthline helped me become a better father to my little girl.
I took classes on parenting, and I also learned how to deal with
the ups and downs in life. Every man should come to these
classes and ‘man-up’ about becoming a dad.”

COMMUNITY QUILT
For the past thirteen years, Paula Lanphier of Cat’s Meow
Quilts has designed and sewed a beautiful quilt just for
Birthline. Our life changing work is the inspiration behind

I have fulfilled part of the mission of my life” says Paula.
