AMERICAN BLUES-ROCK FOUNDATION

The American Blues-Rock Foundation is Unit Five's company.

Established in July 2018, the A.B.F.s purpose is to spread awareness of the extraordinary impact that American Blues have on virtually every musical genre and support its three-tiered mission:

(1) to work with local and national Veteran Service Organizations through our "Red, White, & Blues Project";

(2)  to encourage and support aspiring musicians through our "Unit Five Scholarship Program," and

(3) to support the R.A.W. United Powerlifting Federation and the student athletes at Strong Life Training Facility through our "Mind, Body, & Soul Initiative."

Unit Five is committed to supporting our nation's veterans and the brave men and women serving in the United States Armed Forces.

The Red, White, & Blues Project is the "military arm" of our band's non-profit, 

and we have partnered with Operation America Standing In Support to raise funds for America's heroes and their families.

On Saturday, July 10, we donated $500.00 to O.A.S.I.S. at our 3rd Annual Five Winds Music Festival.

Pictured above are the gals from O.A.S.i.S. (and Spero) at last year's Five Winds Festival.

In an effort to encourage and support aspiring musicians, our band created the Unit Five Scholarship Program.

West Shore graduate River Grace, who now attends the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), was awarded $500.00 as our 2019 A.B.F. Scholarship recipient.

As a result of Covid-19, lockdowns, and bar closings, we presented both our 2020 and 2021 Scholarship to members of Bowlcut at our 3rd Annual Five Winds Music Festival on Saturday, July 10, at Whiskey Beach Pub.

In June 2020, our band created the "Mind, Body, & Soul Initiative" and became the official sponsor of the R.A.W. United Powerlifting Federation and Strong Life Training Facility in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida.

The kids recently won the 2021 Florida State Championships and the 2021 R.A.W. United Federation Championships, and are currently training for the 14th Annual Tony Conyers Extravaganza in Tampa.

Pictured above are Strong Life lifters Ashley Polacek and Natalie Norcross at our gym.  We are STOKED to support the kids both on and off the competitive platform.
