Fundraising:
We are getting close to hitting our city target of $25,000! If each of us can raise a minimum of $100, we will hit that goal! Please ask 10 friends/family/colleagues if they can contribute $10.00 each to this cause and we will be there!!!!! The funds that are raised will go to put elite special operatives on the ground to help put predators behind bars... building a deterrent for predators and decreasing the demand for these children. We can make a difference!

Each person that raises $100 or more will receive the official Stop Child Trafficking Now T-Shirt and those that raise $250 will receive a T-shirt AND a Tote Bag!
These will be distributed to those that qualify on the Walk Day. I'm hoping to see you all in SCTNow T-Shirts on Saturday!

Here are a few details about the actual Walk Day:
