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.
Any questions can be directed to Dirk Beveridge at the address above or by calling 847-381-7797.

  Saturday September 6, 2008, We Do Care is hosting Barrington's 1st annual 9.11 Mile Freedom Run. This runner and walker friendly race will be special in many ways. In remembrance of the courage, compassion, and triumph of the human spirit, that has come from the 9.11 terrorists attacks, race participants will have the chance to bring these same qualities to our beautiful yet challenging course through Barrington and Barrington Hills countryside. Unique performance race shirts will allow for personalized messages of support and thanks to our men and women in uniform, veterans, and military families. All the details will be announced soon...so return here often to learn more and watch for registration information.

An evening exploring the ideals of democracy, freedom, & liberty. Jacob Needleman, professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University and author of The American Soul, will be the featured guest. At the heart of The American Soul is a call to rediscover the timeless truths hidden within the founding vision of the American nation.
Questions to be explored include:
• What is the idea of America?
• What does America mean?
• What are the duties we have that are implied by our rights?
• What was the spiritual core at the founding of our country?
• What is freedom?
• Is democracy more than a model of government?
