Rising Stars Ambassadors share the Carolinas Freedom Foundation (CFF) mission within their respective communities while living the values of: Honor, Courage, Commitment, Industry, Responsibility, Respect, & Humility. CFF accredits those individuals as Rising Stars, who demonstrate the following principles in extraordinary ways.
In fulfilling the mission to inspire patriotic citizenship in our youth and community by honoring the service of veterans and first responders, Rising Stars Ambassadors are shining examples of patriots who engage selfless leadership to achieve aspirational goals. Additionally, one Rising Star will receive the highest distinction, the Polaris Award. This honor is awarded to the individual who beats out their competition in a 12-week fundraising campaign to support CFF's youth leadership programs, veteran and first-responder honor events.
