November 26, 2024  Bel Air, MD Freedom Federal Credit Union, through The Freedom to Help Foundation, hosted its first-ever Freedom Rocks ’24 Bull and Shrimp Roast on Saturday, November 16th, raising over $21,000 to support its mission of enriching the community. The event brought together attendees for a night filled with food, fun, and philanthropy at Boumi Shriners in Rosedale, MD. 

The proceeds from the sold-out event will directly benefit The Freedom to Help Foundation, which provides critical resources to support education, health and wellness, and military families throughout the communities it serves, which now includes Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, and Harford County. 

The evening’s festivities included highlights such as an air guitar contest, a glow stick party, a TapSnap photo booth, basket auctions, a money wheel, 50/50 raffles, and a playlist of the greatest rock hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Attendees, dressed in their best concert gear, embraced the spirit of the night and helped make the event a tremendous success. 

Every guest had an opportunity to visit the Freedom Rocks Merch Stand and select a complimentary Freedom Rocks T-Shirt to remember the night.
