Keynote Speaker – Matt Birk – NFL Champion for LIFE
Matt Birk was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 1998 NFL Draft, and later played for the Baltimore Ravens. He played college football at Harvard. Matt is a two-time All-Pro, six-time Pro Bowl selection, and one-time Super Bowl champion. He is also known for his strong pro-life/pro-marriage views and has been questioned on multiple occasions for standing firm on his faith and morals. When Ravens won the Super Bowl in 2013, he declined to meet President Barack Obama with his teammates due to a comment the President made in a speech in which he said, “God Bless Planned Parenthood.” Birk Stated, ” It was because of my Catholic faith and my pro-life convictions, but ultimately, it was because of my kids.”
Matt and wife Adrianna are raising seven children, all under the age of 14.
