This year’s Freedom Gala celebrated Restore NYC’s accomplishments in the fight against modern-day slavery in New York City and raised crucial funds for our holistic, long-term care for international survivors of sex trafficking. The sold-out Freedom Gala at City Winery included an exclusive silent auction and raffle, a video featuring client testimonies and updates from new Restore Executive Director Jimmy Lee. Musical guests were Paula Cole, Ashley Arrison and Amy Lee of Evanescence, who sang the song “My Heart is Broken,” which is inspired in part by the female survivors at Restore.
