Event Details

Join us for our sixth annual RUN FOR FREEDOM event! In partnership with The Mucci Team , this fundraising event supports Not For Sale. One Step At A Time and our mission to raise awareness and prevent human trafficking.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that awareness leads to action. By educating our community about the realities of human trafficking, we empower people to recognize and report it. Knowledge can save lives. Through partnerships with local government, law enforcement, schools, and community organizations, Not For Sale works to disrupt the demand.

To support this mission, Jen Mucci will be running a half-marathon (13.1 miles) alongside Kwami, a local survivor, symbolizing strength, resilience, and hope.

SPECIAL GUEST: Nikolina DJ Diva from Q92

This event is FREE to attend, and everyone is welcome.

Run. Walk. Show up. Stand with us. Together, we can raise awareness, support survivors, and be the voice for those who have been silenced.
