American Veterans have selflessly protected and defended us throughout the years. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have today. To honor our Veterans, we are proud to announce the fourth-annual Freedom Fest to be held on June 18th.

100% of the proceeds raised benefit Veterans' causes including the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's Veterans Hall of Honor and a statewide Veterans' scholarship fund. Veterans can apply for a scholarship to use toward attending any school in the University of Wisconsin system.

Freedom Fest is part of an extraordinary fundraising effort to maintain a truly remarkable Hall of Honor, which is located on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse campus. In addition, our 2010 event was able to provide scholarships for 20 Veterans attending UW System schools.

The fourth annual event will attract 7,000 Veterans and supporters from across the Midwest who will converge on La Crosse.

Thousands of people each year show their respect to our Veterans by visiting the Hall of Honor. You can be a part of this worthwhile event by contributing now and making plans to visit to the Hall of Honor.

Remember, thank and honor our Veterans who served our country in war and in peace today by joining others as a supporter and advocate of Freedom Fest.
