UTAH COUNTY, Utah (ABC 4 News) – What do bands like Third Eye Blind, 311 and Dashboard Confessional have in common? They were all in raising money for Utah on Saturday.
The first ever candlelight serenade took place at Thanksgiving Point.
Several bands performed to raise money for Utah’s Human Trafficing Task Force, a law enforcement unit that helps stop sex and labor trafficing.
Lindsay Hadley from Child Rescue says, “In Utah today, we have a number of children that are literally being bought and sold as slaves, its modern day slavery at its finest, and we're just here to say that we don't want to tolerate it any more.”
Proceeds from the event benefit the Child Rescue Association of North America.
Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson spoke at the event.
