Polaris is Hosting a Bowl-A-Thon to benefit victims of Human trafficking in NJ

Looking for a fun night out for a good cause? Polaris Project is holding our first annual bowl-a-thon to benefit victims of human trafficking in the New Jersey area!

A common misconception is that human trafficking only happens in foreign countries like Cambodia and India, while that’s true, it also happens in our local neighborhoods. Each day, pimps victimize women and children on the streets of New Jersey and New York, and immigrants from foreign countries are brought into the U.S. to work as nannies and housekeepers under slave conditions. You can help us assist these victims by attending our bowl-a-thon on Saturday, May 7.

Bowlers are asked to contribute a minimum of $25 that will help us support trafficking survivors as they move forward with their lives. Many of these survivors come to us with no personal possessions, and are in dire need of clothing and other material assistance. Your monetary support will help Polaris Project sustain vital client services like case management, job training, ESL courses, transitional housing, mental health support, group therapy sessions, food and clothing assistance, legal advocacy and medical referrals. Furthermore, local businesses are matching personal donations dollar for dollar, donating directly to New Jersey’s victim support efforts. To participate, please form or join a team of six (6) bowlers. The highest-scoring individual and highest-scoring team will receive prizes!
