\nClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Rescue a child with your sole this Saturday, September 24th at the 3rd annual Stop Child Trafficking Walk\/5K Run!<\/p>\n

Join thousands of individuals in 33 cities nationwide as we walk\/run to stop the most heinous crime of our day – child sex slavery. By walking or running, YOU can help bring an end to slavery in our cities and in our nation once and for all!<\/p>\n

\"Stop
\nIt is simple to register and raise funds! SCTNow\u2019s Walk\/Runs across the United States and Canada are free to the public. However, SCTNow does encourage fundraising. 100% of funds raised will directly support the mission of Stop Child Trafficking Now to stop the demand for child trafficking.<\/p>\n

Participants who raise $100.00 or more are eligible for a t-shirt and other great prize incentives<\/a>! You can walk or run as an individual or with a team (teams are 3 + you, or more)! In addition, you have the opportunity to choose one of SCTNow’s partner organizations<\/a> to receive 10% of the funds you raise.<\/p>\n

The 3rd Annual Stop Child Trafficking Now Walk\/5K Run starts at the 8th Street parking lot behind Burt School on the campus of APSU. Parking is on campus behind Burt Elementary School and also on the street. Look out for SCTNow Volunteers directing you where to park. This is a family friendly event and will also feature an inflatable for children to play on, and a self defense demonstration for children.<\/p>\n

Also at the event, Clarksville Community Ambassador Heather Myers will read proclamations issued declaring September 2011 Stop Child Trafficking Now Month in both Clarksville and Montgomery County. These proclamations were issued by Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan and Montgomery County Mayor Carolyn Bowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
