Full Throttle Rock Band Launches Fundraising Campaign for Veterans with New Song

The recent government meeting in Lake Forest highlighted exciting developments for the upcoming Fourth of July Parade in 2025, showcasing community spirit and local partnerships.

One of the standout features of this year’s parade will be the performance by Full Throttle Rock Band, known for their energetic melodies and powerful vocals. Their song "Walk the Walk" is part of a fundraising campaign benefiting Tunnel to Towers, Disabled American Veterans, and the Wounded Warrior Project. Proceeds from streaming the song will be donated from Memorial Day to Veterans Day 2025, emphasizing the community's commitment to supporting veterans.

The parade will also feature a group called Basketball Conversations, a homeschool initiative focused on nurturing critical thinkers and leaders through a classical education rooted in biblical values. Their participation underscores the importance of family, faith, and community engagement in shaping future generations.

Additionally, CR and R Incorporated, a diamond sponsor of the parade, expressed pride in serving Lake Forest with their natural gas-powered vehicles. They highlighted their commitment to excellent service and community partnership, which includes new waste management trucks and recycling initiatives aimed at meeting state diversion goals.

The parade will also celebrate the Just Having Fun group, consisting of over 100 classic car owners who engage in community service through drive-by events for various celebrations, including birthdays and veteran honors. Their involvement adds a nostalgic touch to the festivities.

The meeting concluded with gratitude towards various sponsors, including Triton Air and Plumbing, Eagle Community Credit Union, and Chick-fil-A, who contribute to making the parade a memorable event for residents.

As the city gears up for the Fourth of July celebrations, these discussions reflect a strong sense of community and collaboration, promising an engaging and meaningful experience for all attendees.
