Project 41 was birthed from the White As Snow Gala

Project 41 is hosting the annual White As Snow Gala at the Monroe Convention Center on Friday, January 13 from 7 p.m.to 9 p.m.. The event is organized to raise awareness and educate the community on the realities of sex trafficking. 

Project 41 is a local non profit organization founded to rescue, value, and transform the lives of victims of sex trafficking. Co founder and executive producer of Project 41, Lindsey Nadler, shares that, "there are over 27 millions victims right now that are trapped in the sex industry. This is happening in every city, every town, and every state."

Nadler says the community of northeast Louisiana is uniquely at risk due to Interstate 20, which she calls "a super highway in the sex industry."

The Gala will present victims as well as community leaders sharing stories of hope. Music and food is provided by Chef Pat Nolan. Guests are asked to wear white cocktail attire to symbolize purity and a fresh start.
