Fettig is the founder of Beneath Our Wings Ministry, which is dedicated to bringing awareness about human trafficking, sexting and other subjects that may affect youth and families, through the use of seminars and other training events.

Fettig will be featured in the Cody Stampede Parade, as well as the Ten Sleep parade this week. Her husband Clint is accompanying her with a pickup and horse trailer that has a custom wrap with information about human trafficking and how to get help.
