From local businesses offering sponsorships to volunteers dedicating countless hours, the community’s spirit is evident in every step of the project. This collective effort not only strengthens our bonds but also ensures that everyone can enjoy the beauty of our local waterways.

SS Freedom in Action

Voices of Support

At Design & Remodel Brothers, our hearts are anchored in the belief that everyone—regardless of ability—deserves to experience the freedom, peace, and adventure that the water brings. SS Freedom is more than just a boat; it’s a vessel of hope, a bridge to new memories, and a symbol of our unwavering commitment to giving back to those who have given so much. Whether it’s a veteran who has served our country or a civilian facing life’s challenges, we want to provide a place where they can feel empowered, included, and truly free. Our community has always been our foundation, and through this project, we’re not just building a boat—we’re building moments of joy, healing, and togetherness. Because when we come together to lift each other up, we all rise with the tide.

The purpose of S.S. Freedom (Adventure For All) is so wholly aligned with our mission at BRX Main Street Warriors and my personal value system, we just had to get behind this — and commit to staying involved going forward.

This is an ongoing effort to bring the joy of outdoor experiences to everyone — including those among us with mobility challenges. We are so blessed to be partnering with Wildlife Action Of Georgia, and thrilled to see the Cherokee Business Community step up to make this dream a reality.

[I] feel like I’m actually doing something for the community, doing the right thing for everybody, trying to help everybody else struggling in this world. And so far it’s just coming along very amazing.

I’m here just as a volunteer. I like helping out. Give me a chance, I recently retired, to apply some of the skill sets that I’ve developed over the years working in various aspects of the industry, commercial property management and maintenance and stuff.
I just came out here to lend a hand and maybe a little bit of insight from all those years of experience to see if I can help lead and guide and be a mentor, if you will, to some of these guys out here.

I’m learning a lot and I’m getting to do something productive that’s going to help out veterans in need and make their lives better. So I’m excited about that and excited about the opportunities here and can’t wait to see how it looks when we get done with it.
