Photo Jeff Heyman | | | | | | Last week, Lafayette interim City Manager Niroop Srivatsa presented the Rotary Club of Lafayette with the city council's proclamation recognizing Rotary's partnership with New Day for Children, an Alamo-based organization that strives to meet the unique needs of rescued girls who have been sex-trafficked, combining shelter, education and therapy to lift the girls out of their desperate circumstances. The mayor also proclaimed March 23 as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in the city of Lafayette. That date coincides with a fundraising event that Rotary is holding to support New Day's work.
The Rotary Club's event, Swing to Freedom, is being held at Oakwood Athletic Club on March 23. The goal is to raise $100,000 for New Day to help girls, ages 10-18, who are rescued from sex-trafficking in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, as well as from across the United States. Tickets cost $175. Opportunities for corporate sponsorship are also available. Please contact Mary Lou Till for more information and tickets at (925) 212-4546. |
