Barefoot Mile - Walk for Freedom

Join your community for the Orlando Barefoot Mile!

The Barefoot Mile is a 1 mile barefoot walk to Fight4Freedom for those trapped in human trafficking both locally and globally.

Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in the world today, an annual $150 billion dollar industry. It is the third largest international criminal industry. Two million children are exploited every year in the global commercial sex trade. These crimes are not just being committed internationally, it is happening right here in Orlando too.

The funds raised will assist in the rescue, restoration, reintegration and prevention of human trafficking in Orlando, the U.S. and internationally.

Saturday, February 2nd
Lake Eola (Washington Plaza)
Registration begins at 9am
Walk begins at 10am

The cost to participate is $25 per person (12 and under walk free) and includes a t-shirt and swag bag. Each participant is asked to set a goal of raising $100 to Fight4Freedom on behalf of those caught in human trafficking.  The goal is to have 300 participants walk in the Barefoot Mile with each participant engaging in the peer-to-peer fundraiser.

Get Ready: A Motown Experience

The Motown era brought soul, style and sophistication to a new level in American music. The world was mesmerized by the smooth harmonies and effortless choreography of groups like The Temptations, The Four Tops, and Gladys Knight & the Pips. Our hearts were moved by the soul-stirring melodies of virtuoso vocalists like Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin. You might think that kind of performance is a thing of the past, but you’d be wrong. We’re bringing it ALL back with Get Ready! A Motown Experience. This cutting-edge musical tour pays homage to the Motown legends you love, but does it with a twist. Four spectacular young singers and dancers inject youth, energy and wit into a show that covers all the Motown bases, then throws in a few surprises along the way. The front-line performers are backed up by The Crew a great live band, and a state-of-the-art light show pushes this musical extravaganza over the top. Get Ready! It’s not just “a” Motown experience.
