About CAROLINAS FREEDOM FOUNDATION

Founded in 1995 by former prisoner of war and retired Air Force Col. Quincy Collins, Carolinas Freedom Foundation is a non-profit that works to inspire patriotic citizenship through programs and events. It began operation with Charlotte’s two signature Veterans Day weekend events: the Carolinas Freedom Foundation Annual Freedom Breakfast and Salute to Veterans Parade. Then recognizing an unmet need, Carolinas Freedom Foundation expanded programming to include both youth education and young professional engagement through: JROTC Awards and Recognition Ceremony, Patriotic Art Competition and Exhibition (PACE), Rising Stars Polaris Award, and other programs as listed below, including the greatest spectacle in high school sports -- the Patriotism Bowl. 1.
