Pink Goes Red for Heart Health 2023

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®️exchanges our “PINK” for “RED” to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease and promote life changes that will increase the quality and longevity of the lives of women around the world. The more a woman knows about heart disease, the better chance she has of beating it.

The American Heart Association is a great resource for information regarding cardiovascular disease prevention.

About “Free The Girls” (FTG):

Free The Girls is an international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to coming alongside sex trafficking survivors with a path to true freedom. It’s a journey from horrific trauma to reintegrating into the life they were meant to live within their family and community. Our goal for true freedom is measured by economic freedom, restored health, social well-being, education,and opportunity for a different, hopeful future.

Mission:

FTG exists to help women rescued from sex trafficking reintegrate into their communities.

Vision:

FTG sees a world in which previously enslaved women are leading vibrant, successful, integrated lives.

Why Bras?

  • Bras provide a safe income as the women sell to other women in the marketplace as the transaction of money can be a trigger for women coming out of commercial sex.
  • Bras sell for top dollar in the following countries: El Salvador,;Mozambique, and Costa Rica.
