An Evening Supporting Survivors of Human Trafficking
The Lifeboat Project held its annual Yacht Rock Gala at the Wyndham, Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. It was an incredible fundraising event where many from the Central Florida community came together to raise awareness on human trafficking.
The Lifeboat Project is a safe space for all adult victims of human trafficking, regardless of gender, faith denomination, racial-ethnic background, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status. Funds earned from this evening went directly to supporting survivors of this horrific crime. Thank you so much to everyone who came and contributed to this night.
