Freedom’s Light

There is a special class of dedicated citizens who are fully invested in our nation’s success. Some are military members with families who fight our nation’s wars. Others are first responders who are depended upon during times of crisis. And still others are terrorist victims who seek to build a “common bond” with other terrorist victims to stop the spread of violence worldwide.
Our Focus
The mission of the Freedom’s Light Charity Program is to serve as a central place where one can express their patriotism and love of country through charitable giving. It’s a call to action to help those who have dedicated their lives serving the nation and to those children impacted by the Global War on Terror. In return, it is our commitment to maximize the value of each donation and share some of the “life lessons” learned from this amazing group of Americans.
How the Site Works...
You can utilize the site by going to the “Our Programs” tab, to view details about a charity and donate. If you already know about the charity and want to donate, go to the “Donate Now” section of the homepage and select the organization you are interested in. The link will take you directly to their donation page. 100% of your donation goes directly to your selected charity. Freedom's Light covers all administrative costs and does not take a single penny of your generous gift!
As an option, a visitor can utilize the "Dedication Wall" to leave a supportive message. You do not have to donate to use this feature. This is where you can write a short dedication or "thank you" to an individual or group for serving our country. To me, this feature serves to motivate those involved and provides an opportunity to reflect why this country is so great.
For those interested in receiving motivational newsletters as I train for upcoming races, go to the “Join Our Newsletter” tab on the homepage to submit your name and email address. You will receive a copy of updates via email from my training journal. These journals provide more than just a simple workout plan for upcoming races. They are attempts to share some of my life's lessons which have been greatly shaped by my interactions with military, first responders, and 9/11 victims over the years. On some occasions you will see notes written specifically to my children in order to help guide them in the years to come. To see if this is something you are interested in, take a look at current postings at the Pat's Journal tab on the website.
Please join me in supporting America's best in their time of need. Make a difference in someone's life today!

Companies giving directly to a charity through the site will have the opportunity to post their business logo on the homepage and on our newsletters.

USO Care Package
Fallen Patriots

In 1989 during Operation Just Cause in Panama, Sergeant William Delaney Gibbs was killed in action, leaving behind a young wife and an unborn daughter, Delaney. It was 5 days before Christmas. Our President served with Sergeant Gibbs and created the Children of Fallen Patriots as a way to help Delaney and the thousands of children like her.
The mission of the Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation is to provide college scholarships and educational counseling to military children who have lost a parent in combat or training. Why an Education? In today’s world, a college education is the key to a successful future. Not only does it ensure job opportunities in our increasingly knowledge-based economy, but it also introduces students to ideas and methods of learning that will serve them in all aspects of their lives. By providing college scholarships and long-term educational counseling to these children, we honor the lives of those who have sacrificed themselves for our country, ensuring the success of those they loved.
