"After travelling with IJM to the Dominican Republic and learning about the horrors of sex trafficking of children, my wife Yesenia and I couldn't be more excited to launch into the fight to end slavery and violence."
"We are honoured to join with such a dedicated group of men and women to end sex trafficking around the world...We cannot be silent..."
"We are humbled to partner with our friends at IJM. We deeply believe in the work that they do...IJM shares our heart for making life infinitely better for vulnerable children. Our contribution plays a small part in their huge task: breaking through darkness with light and hope."
"We are proud to support the work of IJM and are praying for the day that every person is living a life of freedom."
"Players are coming together to engage in a bigger fight off the field - the fight to end modern day slavery. IJM has been in this fight for 20 years, and my wife Julie and I are honoured to walk with them as they seek to bring freedom to the poor and vulnerable around the world."
With the combined talents, energy, and influence of Team Freedom, the end of slavery can be seen in our lifetime.
