Human Trafficking/Modern Day Slavery is an issue that you might have started to hear about. But more than just a buzz, the shocking reality is that there are estimated to be 27 million in the world who have been forced into labor and sex. This is an estimated 32 billion dollar industry, and the average price of acquiring a slave is $90!
We are passionate about Freedom and Inspiration at Passion Barre and Karingah; and we believe that:
Freedom has often come, and can only come, as a result of the free becoming distressed by the captivity of the enslaved.
Individual freedom is still being threatened, and we want to raise louder voices this month with other abolitionists worldwide.
History
The Barre-a-thon is a series of Passion Barre classes in one day, free to the community for a suggested donation. Proceeds from our Barre-a-thon and overall Fight for Freedom 24/7 Giving Challenge go directly to empower our partners’ work in rescuing women and children from slavery. So Unleash freedom and just show up 🙂
We created the Barre-a-thon in 2015 and have since then committed to hosting at least one per year to see to it that Freedom reigns and human trafficking is brought to an end.
Many thanks again to all who have attended and supported our last three Barre-a-thons since the first one ever on Saturday, January 24, 2015!
Our 2017 Barre-a-thon will run through out the week of January 23-28, 2017.
Walks and Half-Time Shows
Leading up to our Barre-a-thon events we’ve have the fun opportunity to orchestrate walks in the community and perform for the half-time show, raising awareness at the Citizens Bank Arena with Ontario Reign.
In the meantime, if you missed or can’t attend a Barre-a-thon event or class, you can still donate!
Please click here to read our story and give; or drop off your cash or check donation at our Terra Vista location:
10582 Foothill Blvd., Suite 120
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
We’re located at the Joy Water Fountain Courtyard between Target and Hobby Lobby.
Typically, we focus our giving efforts on projects by A21 Campaign and The Exodus Road through our partner, Pearl Alliance.
Also, if you’ve never heard of Human Trafficking; or you have heard, but didn’t think it was possible to make a difference; please reflect on this short clip on top 10 human trafficking facts and how you can help end slavery in twenty five years!
P.S. If it’s been too long or you haven’t had a chance to try our Passion Barre classes yet, we’d love to host you. Freedom and the sweet after burn has been spreading like a wildfire since we introduced Rancho Cucamonga to the barre! Your first trial class is only $15, or you have the option to try 3 Classes for $30 – and we’ll be donating a portion of that to our partners who rescue women and children from human trafficking, so click here to reserve.
In Southern California, we serve Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Fontana, Ontario, Claremont, Montclair, Corona, Eastvale, Mira Loma, Riverside, Pomona and other surrounding cities. See you at the Barre.
