NSU honors U.S. Veterans by hosting Freedom Fest, Nov. 16
NSU will be honoring our nation’s veterans by hosting the inaugural Freedom Fest on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The event will be held on the Sherman Library Quad on NSU main campus.
Freedom Fest was created and founded by the Heroes Entering Life’s Opportunities (H.E.L.O.) Foundation, whose mission is to assist U.S. Military Veterans in their transition to civilian life. The organization partners with colleges and universities across the country to establish Veteran Resource Centers that will help provide veterans with scholarship opportunities, services, and the necessary resources to ensure the success of their transition.
An exciting and not-to be-missed portion of the day’s activities will be a demonstration by the All-Veteran Parachute Team (www.allveteranparachuteteam.com).
Additionally, Freedom Fest Day will be jam-packed with entertainment and activities including:
- Reading of a Proclamation issued by the Mayor of Davie supporting Nov. 16 as Freedom Fest Day;
- Presentation by the Davie Police Dept. K-9 Unit,
- Miami Dolphins Fan Experience,
- Miami Marlins Mascot and Energy Team, and a
- Performance by Michaela Paige, a contestant on NBC’s The Voice.
There will also be food, arts and crafts, military vehicles, exotic car and bike show, and laser tag.
Admission is free, parking is $10 and additional donations will be accepted. All proceeds and donations will benefit the H.E.L.O. foundation.
