2010 American Freedom Festival Washington

7th Annual American Freedom Festival Washington
October 9, 2010
Patriot Center
Fairfax, VA 

The Fall American Freedom Festival concert series came to a rousing conclusion on Saturday night, October 9, as the Rowdy Friends Tour 2010 played to a rambunctious and enthusiastic crowd at the Patriot Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. Following a sold out crowd the weekend before at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, AR at the American Freedom Festival Arkansas, Hank Jr. and the boys left nothing on the table as military folks from all over the world witnessed this major league throw down via the Pentagon Channel broadcast. 

It was an extraordinary evening as the American Freedom Foundation honored our military and contributed in excess of $115,000 to numerous military based charities. Present at the Sponsors’ Reception to receive their contributions were Dr. Sally Zoll of United Through Reading and Pamela Stokes Eggleston of Blue Star Families. Presentations on stage featured AFF host and co-founder, SMA Tilley, and Mr. Mike Buchen of SKYDEX presenting Elaine Rogers of USO Metropolitan Washington with a check for $25,000. Not to be outdone, SMA Tilley invited John Jaeger and Shane Moore of YRCI to the stage who presented Lisa Reeves of Easter Seal with a check for $55,000. 

None of this could have been possible without the awesome contributions and support of our sponsors. Over 60 sponsors supported the 7th Annual American Freedom Festival Washington DC.  We are truly grateful!  Please stay tuned as we are planning a major tour of military towns in the Spring of 2011 to continue our work of helping and supporting our veterans, active duty military, wounded warrior and their families.
