Run 4 Their Lives 5K
Bringing Freedom. Doing Justice.
Prevention is the key to ending human trafficking.
Run 4 Their Lives is Freedom 4/24’s 5k race tradition- created to bring awareness to the issue of human trafficking. Since its inception, this race has developed to become a fundraiser and tool to implement prevention eduction. We ask participants to partner with us in advocacy efforts by becoming fundraisers and using the race as a platform to share about the issue of human trafficking and the work of Freedom 4/24. Funds raised through each Run 4 Their Lives race are used to support the continued prevention and restoration work in the fight for freedom both locally and globally.

Equipped Parent Workshop Lunch & Learn
We're here to help you navigate protecting your children from exploitation.
Lunch is provided for FREE!
We know that the majority of trafficking starts online. We also know that 90% of victims knew their trafficker before being trafficked.
So, if our kids are being recruited and targeted online (social media, gaming platforms, etc) and by people who want a "relationship," we need to be equipped to have conversations and set boundaries around online usage, healthy vs unhealthy relationships, and more.
In this parent workshop, we will help you learn how to protect your kids from exploitation by taking very practical steps. We're here to help you, no matter your knowledge around this topic.
