Tennessee will give $5 million in the coming budget year to various organizations working with victims of human trafficking, a spending priority Gov. Bill Lee discussed Thursday while flanked by former NFL player Tim Tebow.
Tebow s Florida-based Tim Tebow Foundation will receive $1.2 million in Tennessee s 2021-2022 budget year that begins in July, one of several nonprofit groups receiving state funds related to the issue. What matters most to me are the women and the children and bringing together the right people who have the right experience and the right ability to convene, Lee said during the news conference at the state Capitol, calling trafficking an attack on the dignity of every human being.
