Run For Her Life

Event Overview

About the Initiative

• Mission: The Phoenix Phase Initiative is an Iowa-based 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to helping women who have been sexually trafficked around the world.
• Support: These women are rarely given a chance to escape and, when they do get the chance, they RUN for it!
• Resources: The Phoenix Phase Initiative provides a place to run to where they can be accepted, receive counseling, and learn job skills.
• More Information: Learn more at www.phoenixphaseinitiative.org or check out our video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNKERTiN0Fw
