Announcement: Partnerships and Collaborators
Grand Trunk; Outdoor company and Freedom250.org
Freedom Ride 250 is pleased to have Grand Trunk as a product sponsor for the ride across the country. Founded out of a passion for adventure, Grand Trunk creates innovative outdoor gear designed to help travelers relax, explore, and recharge wherever the road leads. Known for their durable hammocks, camp chairs, shelters, and travel accessories, Grand Trunk focuses on lightweight, portable equipment built for comfort and real-world adventure. Whether you’re setting up camp after a long ride or simply enjoying a moment outdoors, their gear is made to help you slow down and enjoy the journey. Subscribers to the Wheels to Adventure newsletter and following the Freedom Ride 250 project can use Kiara20 as a discount code for 20% off of any of Grand Trunks products.
Of course, America’s Semiquincentennial is a major milestone for the country. President Trump has called for a nationwide celebration and established two organizations to help coordinate events across the country: America250.org and Freedom250.org.
Freedom 250 is a national movement helping lead the celebration of America’s 250th birthday in 2026. The organization works with partners across the country—businesses, communities, and civic groups—to create events, storytelling, and initiatives that highlight America’s history, innovation, and enduring spirit of freedom. Through national programs and local participation, Freedom 250 aims to inspire Americans to reflect on the nation’s past while looking ahead to the opportunities of the next 250 years.
As part of the journey, Freedom Ride 250 will be collaborating with Freedom250.org to help highlight the nationwide celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. While traveling across the country, the ride will share stories, events, and perspectives connected to the Semiquincentennial, bringing the spirit of the celebration directly from the road.
I’m quite excited about these collaborations and will be bringing more information about the Freedom 250 events and other partnerships we have in the works.
