GIRLS ARE NOT FOR SALE - A Benefit to End Child Trafficking in Minnesota

Q: What could be better than a concert with amazing musical artists spanning rock, hip hop, and reggaeton genres, a huge birthday blowout with some of the best people around, and a fundraiser for a powerful cause with local and international implications?

A: An event that is all those things combined, offers free admission, and takes place exactly one week from today. The best part? You're invited!
GIRLS ARE NOT FOR SALE - A Benefit to End Child Trafficking in Minnesota

Tuesday, December 7
5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Honey Lounge
205 E. Hennepin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55414

Sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation of young girls in Minnesota is a chronic and growing problem. In fact, recent data from the Atlanta-based Shapiro Group show that the Internet sale of children for sex in Minnesota is up more than 50 percent in a six-month period.

GIRLS ARE NOT FOR SALE is a benefit event for the PRIDE program (from PRostitution to Independence, Dignity, and Equality) - a program that helps women and girls escape commercial sexual exploitation and reclaim their lives.

RSVP online on Facebook. For more information, contact Jeff at The Family Partnership.
