First Freedom Bank has been a long-time supporter of United Way of Wilson County and the Upper Cumberland and has campaigned annually to help raise funds for them. We are proud to announce that this year the bank has raised over $7,500!

United Way partners with over 40 local non-profit programs to help them increase their fundraising efforts. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life in Wilson County and the Upper Cumberland through the combined efforts of individuals and organizations working together. First Freedom’s Ryan Woodall serves on their board of directors.

First Freedom Bank was honored to be a part of the creation of the new Charlie’s Place. Funds from the sponsorship contributed to the building’s mural, which depicts Charlie Daniels within a patriotic motif. 

The namesake building is located on North Mt. Juliet Road and will be part of a shopping complex that will include two other buildings. All the building will be dedicated to local musicians.

First Freedom Bank donated to Tunnel to Towers for their annual fundraising golf tournament. This is their 7^th tournament, and it will be held on May 10^th at Pine Creek Golf Course in Mt. Juliet.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation constructs specially adapted smart homes for injured service members. The concept began as a homage to Stephan Siller, a New York City firefighter who lost his life while rescuing others during the tragic September 11th attack on the World Trade Center.

Buddy Allen Carpet One Floor & Home has partnered with Tunnel to Towers to organize the golf tournament. They also donate all flooring for smart home recipients in the Nashville area.
