2 319 365 8313 • 609 1st Avenue SW • Cedar Rapids, Iowa • 52405 Sponsored by Clean Up CR Managing the trash at events is a mammoth task and several volunteer teams will help again this year to Clean Up CR. The Festival’s Clean Up CR program, sponsored by Cargill, diverts a substantial amount of garbage from landfills and focuses on promoting recycling at our events.

Win–Win–Win Volunteer Program Sponsored by Toyota Financial, this award winning program helps Freedom Festival recruit needed volunteers and, in return, thousands of dollars are donated to the volunteers’ charity of choice. It’s a win-win-win!

Safety First! The behind the scene logistics of putting on a festival are complicated and costly. Managing street closures, directional signage, safety, medical personnel, building security, and disaster plans are key to a successful and safe event. Freedom Festival is grateful for the sponsorship of MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest to underwrite this critical part of the festival.

Ride the city bus for free A partnership between Freedom Festival and CR Transit makes it possible for the Freedom Festival button wearers to ride the bus free during the festival. So, grab your neighbor and some friends and ride the city bus to the events.
