4Freedom is MAP’s annual fundraiser, a gathering of hundreds of supporters, with a goal this year to raise $60,000 in support of this cause. The problem of human trafficking is massive. Over 20 million people are trapped in various forms of slavery throughout the world today, including our country and right here in local Michigan communities. Since MAP’s inception in 2012, our prevention and education efforts have reverberated across Michigan in more ways than we could possibly imagine. We have seen significant results when people use what they have, their resources and talents, and unite with others to make an impact. Businesses, agencies, organizations, and individuals across Michigan are working together with MAP to educate, connect, inspire, and activate communities. When you support our efforts – you are helping MAP make a greater impact to prevent and end modern-day slavery.

Our Emcee – Eli Zaret
ELI is an American sports broadcaster and journalist based in Detroit, Michigan. He is widely known for being involved in covering the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Association, for whom he served as a sideline reporter and about whom he kept a blog titled “Blue Collar Blueprint”. The blog was based on a book he wrote in 2004 about the Pistons’ rise to their third NBA championship. His career began in 1974 at WABX-FM in Detroit, where he was regarded as the “first FM sportscaster” in Detroit. Eli became the lead sports anchor for NBC affiliate WDIV-TV in the 1980s and briefly served a similar role at WABC-TV in New York, where he shared the weeknight sports reporting duties with Corey McPherrin.
