My excitement rose with Packer fans around the country as last night's win at the Super Bowl was announced. What a time of pure exhilaration for most of us ... but not for all of us (and I'm not just referring to Steeler's fans). Due to the high influx of tourists and visitors to the Super Bowl state during game time, unfortunately the trafficking rates also tend to rise to unbelievable amounts. Last year, tens of thousands of women and children were trafficked into Miami during Super Bowl time. Check out Project Rescue's article on the disturbing relationship between the Super Bowl and trafficking here in the U.S.

Trafficking Tuesdays will be on a "break" until March. We'll be back in full swing after that!
Up to this point we have a total of $77 raised!! Way to go Eau Claire - let's keep this coming!
