The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation raised more than $1 million to help end modern slavery in Africa during the Young Living Foundation’s Ride for a Reason, Foundation 5k, and other activities at the Young Living Essential Oils 2018 International Grand Convention.
All funds raised will go to support Hope for Justice, a nonprofit that exists to bring about the end of modern slavery by preventing exploitation, rescuing victims, restoring lives, and reforming society.
“D. Gary Young dedicated his life to improving the lives of all people; and through The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation, Young Living’s compassionate members have generously given to help some of the most isolated and vulnerable communities around the world,” said Jared Turner, president and chief operating officer of Young Living Essential Oils.
“I want to thank our members, Scott and Brenda Schuler, who chose to do something larger than themselves by launching the Ride for a Reason fundraising campaign that brought the Young Living family together and assisted in raising over $1 million to support Hope for Justice and help rescue the victims of human trafficking.”
Starting with Uganda, the Foundation will immediately fund three Hope for Justice Lighthouses, each of which will provide trauma care,
