Sponsorships & Partners

Current sponsor and partner engagement for the Celebrate Freedom Foundation (CFF) has been focused primarily on the K-12 STEM Education Outreach Program, STEM Education emphasizes the necessity and value of STEM subjects to our youth and future pioneers. It connects the classroom with real world jobs and career fields, and is delivered by our very own US Veteran instructors. STEM subjects provide skills and competencies greatly needed here in SC, the southeast U.S. and across the nation and globe. Workforce development is critical to support the growing needs in manufacturing, with an emphasis on aerospace and automotive. Our STEM Education Outreach Program brings tremendous excitement by flying and driving military aircraft and vehicles to schools, which are used as training aids, accompanied by our veteran subject matter experts, in a multitude of careers fields. Thank you to all our current sponsors & partners!
