Adjusting for Change Day is back in Geelong to help rescue and rehabilitate children from human trafficking.
The IN8 Life in Geelong West will host the annual event on November 16 from noon to 3pm to raise money for Destiny Rescue, which exists to rescue kids from human trafficking and exploitation.
Practice manager Steph Sanzaro said she couldn’t wait to share the “incredible day with everyone” while supporting an important organisation.
“It all started after watching the film Sound of Freedom. I was deeply rocked by the reality of human trafficking and from that moment, I was committed to making a change,” she said.
“My team at rallied behind me immediately, and together, we knew this (Destiny Rescue) was a cause we needed to champion.
“Every social post, article, or conversation we have about this event helps raise awareness, and we’re excited to see the Geelong community come together for such a powerful cause.”
The family-friendly event will feature many activities, including a jumping castle, face painting, giant games, and live music by local duo Garden of Eden.
Ms Sanzaro said last year’s event raised more than $8000 for Destiny Rescue and that this year’s goal was to raise $10,000 for the Australian-based international organisation.
Funds raised during the event will support the organisation’s rescue operations and aftercare programs that offer survivors physical, emotional and educational support.
