Last Day to Become a Watch Party Host is Oct. 4

Joseph, We don't want you to miss this. Throughout the year so many people ask us, "How can we get involved?" and this fall the answer is easy; become a Watch Party Host for our upcoming telethon. What is a Watch Party Host?  Hosts open up their home and invite friends, family, or neighbors to watch the telethon together. It's a great way to raise awareness about the issue of human trafficking and learn how together, we can help survivors. What do I Get? Hosts will receive a free "host packet" with helpful instructions for streaming the telethon, information about Worthwhile Wear, and a special gift; "Walking Prey" by Holly Austin Smith Gibbs, a trafficking survivor, author, and advocate. (Holly was a guest speaker at our very first fundraiser 10 years ago, so we're looking forward to hearing from her at this year's telethon.) To get your free host packet, register online by Monday, October 4 and select host packet when you register. Thinking about joining us in person? We'd love that too! Space will be limited, so don't wait to register for your free ticket. Registration & Ticket Page EVENT DETAILS Our 10th annual fall fundraiser will livestream from 820 PA-113, Souderton, PA (Calvary Church) starting at 6:30 pm with pre-show entertainment before kicking off the telethon at 7:00 pm.
