Event Description:
This annual event in Seattle has drawn thousands of partipiants over the years and now it's headed to Portland! Last year (the 5th Annual in Seattle), the event drew nearly 2,000 participants and raised $143,000 to protect women and children from trafficking.
The 5K Run is a fun, tangible way to take a stand against one of the most horrific crimes of our generation. The "Free Them" 5K raises awareness and funds for World Concern's anti-trafficking programs, which help protect the poor and vulnerable, providing opportunities for education and to earn income safely.
Register today and start fundraising for this cause!
Raise or donate $12,000 and we’ll take you to see—first-hand—the work we’re doing in Southeast Asia. This would be the trip of a lifetime for those who are passionate about putting a stop to the horrific crime of human trafficking!
Remember, every $40 you raise will help protect one child, so email your friends, post your fundraising page to Facebook, and Tweet away!
You must raise or donate these amounts by Saturday, May 11. Children under 18 are not eligible to win the trip to Southeast Asia. For help with your fundraising page contact Kristin Hingtgen .
