Thank you to everyone who supported the CORE in Motion Kettlebell Swing Challenge! 💪
In April, REST Board President Brent Turner completed 30,000 kettlebell swings, roughly 1,000 a day with a 53 lb. kettlebell, to honor the strength it takes to overcome s*x trafficking and rebuild a life rooted in freedom, safety, and hope.
Together, this community helped raise more than $76,000 for survivors served by REST. Your generosity helps provide 24/7 hotline support, outreach, advocacy, mental health services, emergency shelter, and housing assistance. Every swing moved survivors toward freedom, and every gift helped make that movement possible.
Thank you for standing with survivors. 💙

REST Board President Brent Turner completed his incredible challenge of 30,000 kettlebell swings to raise support for survivors of s*x trafficking… and he finished ahead of schedule!
After powering through a staggering 5,580 swings this past weekend alone, Brent crushed his goal early.
His goal? $120,000 for survivors. So far, this amazing community has raised almost $75,000.

At REST, we recently expanded our shelter space from 7 beds to 12 beds. The rooms are ready. The beds are made. Hope is waiting. Now, there is more room for more survivors.
Each bed means more than a place to sleep. It means safety after a crisis, rest after trauma, and a place where healing can begin. Your GiveBIG gift helps fund the resources and support services needed to serve more survivors. Click on the link in the comments below.
