SUMMARY:Lexus Corporate Run
DESCRIPTION:The Lexus Corporate Run will be held at Esplanade Park\, 400 SW 2nd Street\, Fort Lauderdale on April 2 at 6:45 p.m. \nThe Lexus Corporate Run Series brings together participants from more than 1\,200 South Florida companies and features a special competition honoring the top male\, female\, CEO\, and co-ed teams across 20 different industries.

SUMMARY:Purple Healing Heals Walk for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The Purple Healing Heels Walk for Freedom is a symbolic impact project where the community gathers to walk in their shoes. Through this annual experience we bring attention to the crime of human trafficking and the various forms of exploitation of children and our vulnerable adults in our backyard for profit. As a victim-centered organization we hear the voices of the most affected and have learned that their greatest post-rescue battles are within their minds. PHH Walk for Freedom purposes to raise funds for the uninsured victims to access mental health and trauma care. Join the movement to End It by increasing awareness. Wear your purple colors\, lock-shields with us\, and let’s become the voices for the voiceless among us.\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/2023-purple-healing-heels-walk-for-freedom-tickets-519984737347
