Organizers of Not4Sale Gala looking to raise $100,000

A special event in support of victims of human trafficking getting back on their feet is taking place this Friday. Not4Sale is holding a fundraising gala in the hopes of raising $100,000. The group’s director, Joy-Lynn Stickel, says the event will also be a celebration for the opening of a new home in Mexico that is already housing human trafficking victims.  The $100,000 they are hoping to raise will cover the cost to run a home for 10 girls for one year. The event is already sold out.
