Step to Stop Trafficking

November 1, 2020 @ 12:00 am - December 1, 2020 @ 11:59 pm UTC+0

1st Annual Walk/Run/Ride Challenge

November 1, 2020 to December 1, 2020
Anywhere, Anytime!


Join Life Preservers Project for our first-ever Step to Stop Trafficking Challenge! Throughout the month of November and leading up to #GivingTuesday, make a commitment to raise awareness around trafficking and challenge yourself to take on either 5,000 or 10,000 steps a day. Fundraise along the way to provide support to survivors of trafficking and educational resources around trafficking to our underserved communities.

This step challenge is about more than just logging steps each day. It’s about taking steps towards stopping labor and sex trafficking. It’s about taking steps to provide help to victims. It’s about taking steps to safeguard our youth in at risk communities.

Life Preservers Project is dedicated to eradicating human trafficking through fundraising, creative programming and a network of affinity relationships to organizations and agencies providing direct services to victims of human trafficking. We can only do so with help from people like you. Join us for Life Preservers Project Step to Stop Trafficking Challenge.

FAQS


  • What is a step challenge?
    • This step challenge is a virtual event where people commit to a set goal of steps/miles per day for the duration of the challenge. You can get competitive with friends, family members, or coworkers and see who ends up with the most amount of steps by the end of the challenge!
  • How many steps per day should I commit to?
    • That’s up to you to decide! Check your fitness app to see what you typically walk daily and challenge yourself to go a little further for nature. You don’t need to hit these step goals everyday but see how many times you can hit those step goals throughout the course of the month–and remember that you’re taking steps toward creating a world free of human trafficking.
