Sparrow Freedom Project

Sparrow Freedom Project is hosting a fun and family-friendly 5K Freedom Walk that raises awareness about the issue of human trafficking in our region and beyond. Participants can choose to walk, run, or roll the 5K course, and all proceeds from the event will benefit Sparrow Freedom Project’s safe-house, programs and services. There will be food trucks, music, and lots of information!

The Human Trafficking Resource Fair will feature a variety of exhibitors, including service providers, law enforcement, government agencies, and community organizations who work to combat human trafficking and exploitation. The fair will provide attendees with information about the issue of human trafficking, as well as resources for survivors and their families. For those who know very little about human trafficking and exploitation, there are numerous misconceptions. There are also many who do not believe that this horrid crime exists especially in their backyard. Human trafficking has been found in every single zip code in Michigan. Human traffickers do not discriminate! Take this opportunity to learn more!

We are excited to have the Attorney General Dana Nessel in attendance and speaking at 9am. We are endorsed by the Oakland County, Wayne County, and Macomb County Prosecutors, who will have tables at the resource fair. FBI, HSI, Detroit Police Department, Macomb County Anti Trafficking Task Force, Ascension Hospital, Common Ground, Sanctum House, Avalon Healing, US Attorney are just some of the great organizations that have confirmed attendance. 

Join us on May 18, 2024 starting at 8am at the Cricket Field on beautiful Belle Isle to help raise funds and awareness.

This event will go on no matter if rain or shine. You also need to purchase a Recreation Passport upon arrival on Belle Isle if you don't already have one.
