Scheduled for March 12, 2027, from 6-10 p.m. at Armature Works, located at 1910 N. Ola Ave. in Tampa, this semiformal event invites guests to embrace a Roaring Twenties-inspired flair while standing alongside survivors of sex trafficking. <\/p>\n<p>The gala\u2019s title captures the\u202fevening\u2019s\u202fcentral conviction: exploitation often\u202fremains\u202funseen, but survivors deserve to be recognized,\u202fsupported\u202fand celebrated. Selah Freedom describes the gathering as an opportunity to break silence, step into the light and honor people who are \u201cno longer hidden \u2014 but restored, resilient and roaring in freedom.\u201d The program is designed to unite community members around a shared resolve to confront trafficking and expand pathways toward lasting restoration. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond a single evening, the event highlights the work at the heart of Selah Freedom\u2019s Florida-based, faith-centered nonprofit mission. The organization works to protect children, end sex trafficking and help exploited people find freedom through prevention, awareness, outreach, residential and consulting programs. Its residential services provide survivors with a safe setting and wraparound resources intended to support healing and a new beginning. <\/p>\n<p>Tickets are priced at $200, with a $150 early-bird rate\u202favailable,\u202fand sponsorship opportunities are also offered. For attendees, Roaring &amp; Restored promises more than an elegant night out. It is a chance to turn concern into meaningful support \u2014 to listen, learn,\u202fgive\u202fand affirm that freedom should never be hidden. In a community willing to speak up, survivors\u2019 stories can be met not with silence but with hope, dignity and the resources needed to move forward. <\/p>\n<p>Those interested in attending can\u202fpurchase\u202ftickets or explore sponsorships through Selah Freedom, helping sustain practical care,\u202fprevention\u202feducation and public awareness for survivors and communities throughout Florida and beyond. <\/p>\n<p>Email\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ospreyobserver.com\/2026\/08\/anti-sex-trafficking-gala-brings-hope-healing-and-restoration\/mailto:leanne.baker@selahfreedom.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">leanne.baker@selahfreedom.com<\/a>\u202ffor sponsorship opportunities, or visit <a href=\"https:\/\/selahfreedom.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/selahfreedom.com\/<\/a>.
