Freedom Awards Gala

The true value of freedom is defined by what people are willing to do to gain it…or regain it. Sometimes their stories are on the evening news, and sometimes the fight is so private that even those closest to them are not aware of the struggle. Sometimes they are wearing fatigues and carrying a weapon, sometimes they are found in khakis and a button-down shirt, and sometimes they are dressed in pearls and heels. Regardless of their attire and situation, their determination, sacrifice, faith, and courage were what helped them achieve victory. The 2024 Freedom Award recipients will join an impressive list of previous honorees who have made unique contributions to the cause of defending and promoting the traditional American values of God, family, freedom, and country.

Cost: $60
