Meet the Moment: Silent Auction + Colorado Gives Day Live Event!

❤️ About the Campaign

Meet the Moment is our year-end giving campaign supporting LCHT's mission to end sex and labor exploitation in Colorado. Every gift strengthens our four core programs: Colorado's 24/7 Human Trafficking Hotline and Resource Directory, Training and Education, our Leadership Development Program, and Research and Action.

In this moment, human trafficking is getting more attention than ever, but awareness alone doesn't create change. For more than 20 years, LCHT has been doing the work that does, right here in Colorado.

📅 On December 8th, join us for an evening of community and enjoy a seated dinner, silent auction, keynote speaker, and live music. Together, we'll look at the systems that allow exploitation to happen, the work LCHT is doing to change them, and how you can be part of it too.

⚠️ Content Advisory: This program discusses sensitive topics related to human trafficking and is recommended for ages 13+

👋 Meet Our Special Guests

🎤 Keynote Speaker: Rhonelle Bruder

Rhonelle Bruder is a survivor-researcher whose work is reshaping how we understand and respond to human trafficking. A social scientist, she studies the personal, institutional, and systemic forces that create vulnerability to exploitation, drawing on both lived experience and rigorous research. She is a PhD candidate in Social and Behavioural Health Sciences at the University of Toronto’s Dalla Lana School of Public Health, teaches at Salem State University, and serves as Vice Chair of the Board of HEAL Trafficking.

🎵 Musical Guest: Dog Tags

Dog Tags is a Denver-based soul collective with a sound rooted in neo-soul, jazz, and R&B, and a whole lot of heart. For Meet the Moment, they're bringing their full eight-piece ensemble, a rich lineup of vocals, horns, and rhythm that fills the room with energy. Their music explores love, friendship, and the connections that hold us together, delivered with the kind of tight musicianship and genuine warmth that turns an audience into a community. It's a fitting close to a night about the relationships that change our world. We're thrilled to have them meet the moment with us.
