$1.75 Million Raised to Fight Slavery and Cybersex Trafficking at Dallas IJM Benefit

Earlier this month Renee and Russ Brown were honored to chair a special evening benefiting International Justice Mission. Thanks to the hard work of a talented Benefit Committee, past chairs, and honorary chairs, attendance and fundraising records were shattered as generous friends financially partnered with IJM in its battle against the world’s darkest evils. Even more amazing, consider what IJM can do with $1.75 million:

•   36 national IJM lawyers for one year

•   17 undercover surveillance systems

•   80 days of investigation

•   More than 100 rescue operations

•   Medical care for 850 survivors of violence

•   850 aftercare packages for survivors of violence

•   4,250 hours of counseling for survivors of violence
