CityScene Media Group and The Estate at New Albany are happy to announce that the Columbus Chapter of Out of Darkness will be the official philanthropy partner for the 2019 Best of the 'Bus celebration.
Out Of Darkness is an anti-trafficking organization working to break the cycle of sex trafficking one human at a time. It's an issue destroying the lives of women, men, and children across the United States. As of 2006, it's the second largest criminal enterprise in the world and is rapidly growing.
“To share the room with such an incredible group of entrepreneurs and visionaries who all happen to love our great city of Columbus, and to be able to represent the abused and exploited women in our own city who no longer have a voice is an incredible honor that we don't take for granted," says Out of Darkness.
The local organization is working to stop this terrible crisis by providing immediate short-term crisis stabilization and long-term programs. Out of Darkness aims to educate the Columbus community and beyond about the horrors of human trafficking, along with conducting rescues and helping victims after their experiences. Reach, Rescue and Restore.
Help Out of Darkness by donating at the 2019 Best of the 'Bus Party.
PLUS, WHEN YOU MAKE A MONETARY DONATION OF AT LEAST $5, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL RAFFLE TICKET.
