#RaisingHope
Step into the reality of human trafficking. Feel it. See it. Understand it. This year’s Raising Hope Blue Tie Gala isn’t just another event—it’s a confrontation with the digital age of exploitation and a rallying cry for change. Through a powerful, immersive walkthrough experience, you’ll witness firsthand how technology is weaponized to traffic and exploit the vulnerable–to exploit the vulnerable that could lead to human trafficking. Every detail, every chilling reality, will place you face-to-face with what survivors endure—so that together, we can dismantle a child predator's strategy.
This night is about more than awareness. It’s about action.
