Kevin Malone, named “The Best General Manager in the Game” in 1995, retired from professional baseball in 2001 after an illustrious 17 year career in which his teams earned a World Championship and several trips to the post-season. Major League Baseball Hall of Fame General Manager Pat Gillick stated the following about Kevin, “he is a dedicated, loyal, hard-working guy who is also a visionary. He always had something on his mind to make us (the Baltimore Orioles) better. He was not only loyal, but he was somebody who pushed the people around him to be better.” Kevin is known as a “rebuilder.” His leadership, attention to detail, team building skills, management expertise and well known work ethic helped him in restoring three different franchises to prominence. Kevin is an experienced winner and has the innate ability to effectively communicate and execute his formulas.
Malone, a human trafficking “abolitionist” uses his talents, experiences and relationships to fight for the eradication of child sex slavery. Kevin is the Founder and Executive Director of Protect The P.A.T.H. (People Against Trafficking Humans), and President/Co-Founder of the United States Institute Against Human Trafficking. Both are ministries dedicated and committed to ending the sex slavery of minors in American cities, communities and neighborhoods. Each ministry seeks to bring awareness, prevention, rescue assistance and restoration to children. The model implemented is a proven, evidence based approach that utilizes collaboration among experienced leaders, experts, survivors, professionals and service providers in all sectors of human trafficking to battle America’s “slave problem.” Malone believes that all people are called to seek justice, rescued the oppressed and defend the orphan. He likes to quote Edmund Burke, “all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing!”
