Contributions:
The Lifeboat Project - $5,000. This organization’s mission is to empower the lives of survivors through long-term aftercare, residential programs, and education.

They offer a multi-faceted solution to housing survivors of human trafficking through safe house, transitional homes, and lifelong care.

The 11th Annual Celebration of Life Gala “Night at the Museum” will be held on October 12, 2024, in Winter Park, Florida.
