FGCU STUDENTS ORGANIZE HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND BFA AWARENESS EVENT:  On Monday, July 18th, a group of 6 undergraduate students from Florida Gulf Coast University will be raising awareness about human trafficking and BFA on campus from noon until 2pm during freshman orientation.  This group of young women made the decision to become activists after hearing BFA Founder and human trafficking over-comer, Julie Shematz, speak to their Foundations Civic Engagement class.  One of their assignments for the semester, as a group, was to develop a project for a local agency and these women chose to support BFA.  The team of activists will be debuting their PSA (public service announcement) and have information tables on the Library Lawn.  Julie Shematz and, our new Executive Director, Mary Lewis will also be speaking at the event.  

FUND RAISING: If you're passionate about doing something about human trafficking happening right here in the United States and want to support Florida's first and only human trafficking survivor led, community service agency, contact us today.  As we are expanding and developing the nation's first of it's kind: from the point of exiting the sex industry to full recovery, a seamless, comprehensive, and integrated program for victims of commercialized sexual exploitation and human sex trafficking, our funding needs are rising.  Whether it's a bake sale, car wash, Sunday School class project, percentage of your business sales, or organizing a dinner party, 3-5K run, awareness event, etc., please contact us with your fund raising/awareness ideas today.  Together we can make a difference.
