The classical pianist is Christian. The jazz bassist is Muslim. When Bilal is accused of being a terrorist and jailed awaiting trial, Eric tries to stay connected by pushing aside his own classical aspirations in order to learn big brother's jazz style. Separated by prison bars and religious convictions, the brothers scat and be-bop through their shared language of music. As his brother's trial progresses, Eric becomes disillusioned and struggles to decide if he believes the charges levied against his beloved older brother, or if false accusations make him a beleaguered martyr to a prejudiced, paranoid nation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In celebration of Council for Lifes 25th anniversary, the nonprofit has set a historic goal of raising more than &lt;strong&gt;$2 million &lt;/strong&gt;to create a lasting, generational impact in our community. Money raised will help fund grants to &lt;strong&gt;33 carefully vetted and selected beneficiaries&lt;/strong&gt; who serve those experiencing unplanned pregnancies. (&lt;a href="https://councilforlife.org/grants/#beneficiaries"&gt;See the list of CFLs Beneficiaries here.&lt;/a&gt;) These beneficiaries provide women and families with a spectrum of free, compassionate support, including medical care, maternity housing, pregnancy resources, parenting and life skills education, fatherhood initiatives, and student sexual risk avoidance education. In 2026, CFL estimates that their funding will help support over &lt;strong&gt;78,000 pregnancy center visits, saving countless babies &lt;/strong&gt;in the DallasFort Worth area alone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Co-Chaired by philanthropic leaders &lt;strong&gt;Stephanie Baker&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Lynne Schott&lt;/strong&gt;, the Luncheon promises to be an inspiring afternoon. We invite everyone to join us to celebrate, said Stephanie. "I can't think of anyone better to join us as we celebrate our 25th anniversary than Tim Tebow. His strong faith and his commitment to the sanctity of life make him the perfect fit for this milestone year," added Lynne.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Council for Life is thrilled to recognize &lt;strong&gt;CFL Founder Emeritus&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Ann Carruth &lt;/strong&gt;and her husband,&lt;strong&gt; David Carruth&lt;/strong&gt;, as this years &lt;strong&gt;Luncheon Honorary Chairs&lt;/strong&gt;. CFL is deeply grateful for Anns visionary leadership and the Carruths unwavering devotion to shape a culture of life in Dallas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"We are immensely thankful to our Honorary and Luncheon Chairs for their steadfast service to Council for Life and their bold, courageous commitment to protect babies and help vulnerable mothers, fathers, and families," said &lt;strong&gt;Lee Anne Morris, CFL Executive Director&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
