SUMMARY:4Freedom - MAP's Annual Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin us this day… 4Freedom…\n\nVolunteer…\n\nMen and women are invited to become a table host.  Learn more…\nHelp us enlist sponsors and gifts and donations for our silent auction.  Learn more…\n\nBecome a Sponsor…\n\nJoin other businesses and organizations!
