Mission and Goals (draft)

For this year, we believe, with God’s help, we can accomplish the following:
1. Create a viable, sustainable Task Force that involves dozens of people from many churches and many different faith-backgrounds
2. Educate thousands throughout Greater Boston through regular, persistent communication about human trafficking and Love 146’s relief efforts (email campaigns)
3. Educate and motivate 1,000 people in the Greater Boston area to donate to the cause
4. Sponsor 100 1x1x1 meetings – 1 on 1, 1 hour meetings about human trafficking to raise awareness
5. Raise $50,000 by Dec 31, 2009 for Love 146

Tread on Trafficking (draft)
Tread on Trafficking is a walk-a-thon like event that will take place at gyms throughout New England from February 15th to March 31st. Treaders will ask others to sponsor them per mile on a bike, treadmill, or other exercise machine. The goal is to capture 1,000+ sponsors of treaders throughout the Boston area. We hope that since many undertake a new exercise regime at New Year’s, Tread on Trafficking will appeal to gym owners and they will sponsor/promote the event as it drives gym usage at a time when new members can be vulnerable to slacking off; Valentine’s Day is also Love 146’s key holiday. Finally, we aim to posit stories in various media outlets before, during, and after this event, highlighting key points about Love 146 and its mission.

The next steps in this campaign are to begin to research local gym owners and franchisees, asking for their support of this program. Our goal should be to gather 5-6 gyms to agree to post signs, flyers, and promotional material before our next meeting in November.
