rights abuses in our communities and to honor individuals
working to address them. The Champion of Human Rights Award
is given to recognize the extraordinary dedication of
individuals who strive to ensure the protection of the basic
human rights and fundamental freedoms to which all human
beings are entitled.

Event: This
event will host 300 guests and will sell out quickly. We
will honor filmmaker and anti-trafficking activist, Libby
Spears. Libby’s background in social issue filmmaking and
commercial production helps bridge gaps and provides access
to places and people that would otherwise never converge or
be seen. Her projects provide hope for trafficked people
worldwide. Guests will enjoy dinner prepared by Stock &
Barrel, cocktails, a casino, a silent auction, a raffle
drawing and live music by DJ Andy Austin.
Libby Spears In
2001, Libby Spears gained firsthand knowledge of human
trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Her
undertakings in South Korea, Thailand and the Philippines
led her to create Playground: The Child Sex Trade in
America, the film that uncovered sex trafficking among
children. Executive produced by George Clooney, Lauren
Embrey and many others, Playground exposes the pervasiveness
of trafficking in the United States. The film premiered at
the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival and has been screened around
the world, including numerous times on Capitol Hill. Libby
has also spearheaded several Congressional hearings on child
sex trafficking that lead to the introduction of the first
piece of federal legislation dealing with domestic minors of
sex trafficking.
Andy Austin: Andy
Austin, born and raised in Dallas, is an entertainer by
heart, choice and trade. He brings originality, fun and life
to any event. Andy is also co-owner of LeForce
Entertainment.
Beneficiary: Mosaic
is a safe haven for survivors of human rights abuses,
including human trafficking and domestic violence. Mosaic is

representation, counseling and support services to clients
