The Freedom Collective’s Mission
The Freedom Collective operates with a clear vision: to glorify God by bringing hope to victims of sexual exploitation, empowering them to live free, and ultimately abolishing sex trafficking. Through trauma-informed care, outreach, and safe housing, the organization provides critical support to survivors rebuilding their lives.
Following the event, The Freedom Collective shared their gratitude publicly on Facebook, writing: “We are thrilled to recognize The Summit Group as a Table Sponsor for the ToGetHer Free 2025 Gala! We are so grateful for their partnership and generosity as we prepare to host our first-ever Gala in Northwest Florida.

Community Support Continues
