The program helps give trafficked girls and women a new start. Mission 21 will receive funds from Austin chiropractor Kelly Nesvold’s 300M4FREEDOM, a drive to raise money through a fitness challenge.

Reservations are due by March 14. Tickets are $30 for individuals or $240 for a table of eight. Checks can be made to Zonta Club of Austin and can be mailed or dropped off at Bursch Travel, 1411 First Street SW, Austin.
