Doylestown Concert To Raise Funds To Combat Human Trafficking

DOYLESTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Young Professionals of the Doylestown Rotary Club will host a fundraising concert on May 4 at Central Park to combat human trafficking in Bucks County.

The "Voices for the Voiceless" concert takes place on Saturday, May 4 from 3 to 6 p.m. (rain date May 5) at the C&N Amphitheater in Central Park, Doylestown, featuring a high energy, local band of teachers called "Class Act."

"Every ticket supports recovery, rehabilitation, and prevention efforts, turning this inspiring evening into a powerful call to action," said the Rotarians. "Be part of an experience filled with compassion, music, and change, as we unite to support victims of this ongoing crisis."

There are more than 50 million victims of human trafficking worldwide; and this exploitative practice, both sexual and labor, happens everyday in Bucks County, said the Rotarians.

More than 90 percent of sexually-exploited victims are female, often from marginalized groups. Considered modern day slavery, victims remain stuck in this dreadful situation due to threats against their lives, creating a cycle of hopelessness and despair and a feeling they cannot speak up.

"As a community we cannot stay silent. It’s time for all of us to use our voices and take a stand against such inhuman acts," said the Rotarians.

Proceeds will benefit local victims of human trafficking and assist with creating awareness. For tickets, sponsorships, and donations, click here. Individual tickets cost $15 online ($20 at door or $40 max for family).
