A Veteran Owned Business
A Veteran Owned Business
The Carolinas Freedom Foundation was founded in 1995 in response to former prisoner of war and retired Air Force Col. Quincy Collins’ concerns about the lack of an organization in the area to promote patriotism and honor veterans. Over the years, the Foundation has grown to become recognized as the “go to” organization in the Charlotte, NC area where promoting patriotism and honoring those who serve are concerned. The Foundation is also an active part in working with the schools in the area sponsoring character development programs through the JROTC program in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Public School system.
