Orem, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/4/2006 -- Celebrating their first anniversary; the board of directors of bandsforfreedom.com and the Bands for Freedom Foundation spent the New Year's holiday reviewing some of the many accomplishments achieved during the their first year of operation. Their initial task was the selection of a charity that would help them accomplish their mission to educate the public as to the needs of our troops and their families, as well as providing much needed supportive aid for our men and women in uniform. Their selection process resulted in their choice of the Armed Forces Relief Trust (www.afrtrust.org), because that charity divides and dispenses the donated funds it receives in direct proportion to the deployment of the service branches' deployment overseas. Acquiring a strategic partner to help them mobilize the public awareness of this effort was also high on their initial agenda. They were fortunate to align themselves with Military.com, the largest resource website for members of the military and their families. Next, they built a powerful website with a "heroes page" that displayed photos of celebrities publicly displayed their support of this cause by wearing Bands For Freedom. The country music community and the National Football League have turned out to be the strongest supporters for this work. To date there are 81 photos gracing the "heroes page", including country music artists Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and Sara Evans, as well as NFL stars Daunte Culpepper, Warrick Dunn and Michael Keaton, to mention a few. Bands for Freedom recently released a new IPOD® cover (available in four sizes), providing another way for donors to display their support. The net result of the efforts of bandsforfreedom.com and the Bands for Freedom Foundation has been donations in its first year of operation totaling $226,000 to the Armed Services Relief Trust, an exceptional achievement for a new charitable organization.

In reflecting upon this success, Andy Chudd, Executive Director of the Bands For Freedom Foundation, said "We're very proud of this success in the first year of our work to support our troops. We had a great deal of help and support, and as long as our troops are deployed overseas away from their families while protecting ours, we are dedicated to reach new milestones in 2006 to support them and to make the public aware of their daily sacrifice for all Americans."

Orem, UT -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/14/2005 -- Bandsforfreedom.com and the Bands For Freedom Foundation, Inc. today announced that they have gained additional support from some of country music's biggest stars including Joe Nichols, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, Trick Pony, and Erika Jo in its efforts to raise funds for the Armed Forces Relief Trust (AFRT) the men and women of the U.S. military, and their families. They were also honored by the backing of Rascal Flatts who all wore the Bands For Freedom at their recent sold-out concert at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The assistance received from these major artists represents the latest round in a recent flurry of support from the county music community, which has also included artists such as Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, Sara Evans and Terri Clark.

The new round of support offered by these talented artists makes the www.Bandsforfreedom.com http://www.bandsforfreedom.com/ "Heroes Page," read like a veritable Who's-Who of country music. Bandsforfreedom.com is proud of the fact that their supporters currently account for 10 of Billboard's top 20 chart, Rascal Flatts, Joe Nichols, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Sugarland, Sara Evans, Brooks and Dunn, Trace Adkins, and Big and Rich all have top-selling singles. The non-profit organization has high expectations that the substantial amount of media attention focused on these artists, combined with the show of support offered from the artists themselves through publicizing the bands at their tour stops and promotional appearances, will translate into additional outpourings of support for the AFRT.

Commenting on the posting, Bands For Freedom, Inc. Executive Director Andy Chudd offered: "We are truly honored to receive the support of these amazing artists by adding their names to our Heroes Page. With their help, we can continue to offer much appreciated support to the members of our military and their families."
