Description: MISSION STATEMENT: FREEDOM TO ROCK, a non-profit organization, 501(c)3, aims to bring in quality music, and live entertainment. FREEDOM TO ROCK will boost the morale, of every Armed Forces man and woman, bringing in our support for our freedom and quality of life. We are privileged to experience the FREEDOM TO ROCK. We do this through entertainment events that promote wellness, productive relationships, connecting the entertainment artists, our Military audience, and, most importantly, the cause. The FTR and USEF Freedom To Rock, a 501c3 non-profit organization (Loretta Palacios CEO) has formed a Strategic Partnership with The United States Entertainment Force Inc, a 501c3 non-profit, proud home of The Hopes and Dreams Project (Jerry Payne, CEO, and former USO producer), Our union will touch the lives of our military through Music, Art, Film and Services. This partnership will bring two entertainment organizations; with over 25 years of experience in serving our Armed Forces, together as one force; we make a difference with a positive outlook for our active duty, veterans, military families, children who are critically Ill, and Children in Crisis. This strategic partnership has developed into one major Military Entertainment Organization, reaching out to the communities where they serve under one umbrella. Together we bring our gift of music to boost the morale of our service members regardless of where they are stationed. We also address the serious needs of the military families. The Hopes and Dreams Project uses art and film to embrace creativity, hope, enrichment and social interaction for children affected by multiple deployments, death of a parent, divorce, and PTSD. In addition, children who are critically ill, or in crisis, get to star in their own movie taking them away from the fear of living or dying. Our goal is to make a difference, one person at a time.
