'Running 2 Rescue' aids local sex trafficking support organizati

More than 1,600 participants raised money to support and protect underage girls that have been victims of domestic sex trafficking Saturday morning, by running in a series of races at the "Running 2 Rescue Family Fun Run."

That event benefited OneVoiceHome, an agency that provides support services to, specifically, underage female trafficking victims. This year, all of the proceeds went to funding a residential safe home coming to West Texas.

"We wanted to raise awareness and raise funds so we can make a difference," Trinity Church's Carl Toti said. "So we're doing our part, along with everyone in our community, to make a difference and help rescue -- particularly with OneVoice -- the underage girls that are caught up with human trafficking."

The 100-acre ranch for those victims is expected to open in early 2017.
