The celebrated former Florida Gators quarterback, Tim Tebow, known for his football achievements, is now championing a crucial cause off the gridiron: battling human trafficking in America.
Discussing the “Unknown” campaign on “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich,” Tebow conveyed the campaign’s earnest commitment to confronting human trafficking and the exploitation of children. Their intent is to locate and save many children who’ve endured unthinkable abuse but remain elusive and unidentified.
Directly quoting Tebow’s passionate remarks, he said, “Our heart is to try and combat it in and every way possible to be able to be on the front lines to push back this evil.”
“Our biggest heart right now is with this Unknown campaign because in one of the law enforcement databases there is at least 50,000 boys and girls that have been abused in such severe ways and also, nobody has been able to identify or located them,” Tebow added.

He continued, “That is why this campaign is called the Unknown campaign because our heart is to be able to identify them, to locate them and then be able to rescue them. We just believe every single life is worth us doing everything possible to be able to get to them because we know they’re not unknown to God. They’re known to God and they better be known to us. We better be willing to do everything and anything we can to get to all these precious lives.”
Highlighting the underestimation of this issue’s prevalence in America, Tebow remarked, “It is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the world. A lot of those studies and reports are actually also believed to be underestimated. It is growing. Some of the different campaigns and videos that we actually shot, we’ve done it in neighborhoods that have been really nice because we wanted to say, ‘Look, in this neighborhood, in this area, it’s been right here.’” He continued, “And you know, sometimes people have to open their eyes. This isn’t just something that’s taking place in a third world country. It is taking place in these third world countries but it is also taking place right here in America.”
Tebow’s full insights on this topic and more about the campaign will be aired during his interview on “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” at 9 a.m. ET this coming Monday.
