Clement Park Picnic Shelters (Near the Library) 

Saturday, July 31, 2021

Registration opens at 9 am, the walk starts at 10 am! 

Hello, friends and family of Joyful Soles! As many of you know, human trafficking has grown to be a worldwide epidemic, generating over 40 billion dollars and trapping an estimated 20 million people annually, worldwide (1). Horribly, it's estimated that 1/3 of trafficked individuals are children, and 50% of all trafficking victims worldwide are trafficked for sexual exploitation (2). 

At Joyful Soles, we believe that every child deserves to grow up free, safe, and filled with JOY! That is why we are joining JOY International at the 2021 Littleton Barefoot Mile, to raise funds to fight child trafficking! Registering to be a part of our team is free, but you can make an optional donation, or ask your family and friends to sponsor you as you walk! Just click "Join My Team" now to be a part of this exciting event! The walk is an opportunity to walk barefoot in solidarity with trafficked children, to raise awareness and funds to fight this horrible crime. All funds raised will benefit JOY International, a nonprofit established in 1981 that is dedicated to fighting trafficking, especially the sex trafficking of minors. 

Come walk a barefoot mile with us this July 31st!
