Trenton Soroptimists host "Battle for Freedom"

Soroptimist International of Trenton Area will be hosting its second “Battle for Freedom” on January 27, 2018. This hair and fashion show is entitled “Detroit Style,” where local salon stylists will dress, design hair, and apply make up for the audience to vote for the best-styled models. Previous battles had over 400 attendees, and tickets were sold out early in the evening.

Trenton Area Soroptimist is a volunteer group that offers service by way of fundraising and donations, public awareness/educational programs, and hands-on assistance. These women give their time and talents to local food pantries, Vista Maria, First Step, Rapha House, Stanford House, Oakwood Beaumont Southshore, and to area women’s health institutions. The proceeds from “Battle for Freedom: Detroit Style” will benefit charities that help put an end to sex trafficking. Detroit is ranked as having one of the highest number of sex trafficking victims and is included in a global epidemic that annually nets over $2 billion.
