Participants of 'Free the Girls 5k Walk/Run' in Ogdensburg wear bras to show support; donate to women rescued from sex trafficking

OGDENSBURG -- The Ogdensburg Area Zonta Club sponsored a “Free the Girls 5k Walk/Run” on the Maple City Trail in Ogdensburg.

The event was a bra drive in which participants wore a bra on the outside of their clothing during the race and deposited it into a box at the end of the race.

By donating a bra, one can give a woman rescued from sex trafficking a job. Women can make a living selling used clothing while they recover and build their new life.
