We Do Care - Supporting and Thanking out Troops! About Us

Our Family Freedom Festivals are always very big days for our men and women in uniform as well as for the Northern Illinois community. We hope that we can count on you and your family being a part of the three to five thousand individuals we expect at each Family Freedom Festival.

We also believe you will agree that after reviewing this site

and our plans that there are compelling reasons to financially support our Family Freedom Festivals.

While individuals have donated one thousand dollars or more others have been kind enough to contribute twenty-five, fifty, and even one hundred or five hundred dollars. Any amount you feel comfortable contributing will be directly allocated to the success of a successful Freedom Festival that will make a real difference for our men and women in uniform.

Checks can be made out to We Do Care and mailed to 113 North Grant Street, Barrington, IL 60010.
