CELEBRATION OF COURAGE, BOOTS AND BLING BALL
The New Life Refuge Ministries hosted its annual Celebration of Courage, Boots and Bling Ball at the Ortiz Center on Thursday, Jan. 23. Presented by Braselton Homes, the event featured onsite Texas-inspired activities, silent and live auctions, dinner provided by the Corpus Christi Mustangs and music from popular contemporary Christian artist Josh Wilson.
The mission of New Life Refuge Ministries is to provide a refuge of hope and healing for child survivors of sex trafficking, to provide education to the community on the issue and to establish partnerships with other organizations in the fight against modern-day slavery.
This annual event is the group’s largest fundraiser contributing to its Vision to End Child Trafficking by providing resources for the refuge that serves 11- to 17-year-old child survivors of human sex trafficking to help them heal their trauma.
