2025 Freedom Celebration

6:30pm

Location:

Philadelphia, PA

We hosted our second Freedom Celebration on November 13th in Philadelphia, PA. It was a wonderful opportunity to gather with many of you and bask in the great joy and power that FREEDOM brings.

On this momentous occasion, we honored CFSY Co-Founder Bryan Stevenson for his visionary leadership and relentless advocacy on behalf of the thousands of individuals who were given life without parole and other extreme sentences as children.

We are deeply grateful for the Tow Foundation and our sponsors who made our Freedom Celebration possible, as well as all those who invest in and sustain CFSY’s other important efforts throughout the year.
