Over the last 11 years more than $10 million has been given back through WAA’s national fundraising program to other nonprofits and civic group partners, supporting veteran programs and military families in communities across the country.
Wreaths Across America Kicks Off Giving in July
Wreaths Across America announces the kick off to Giving in July — a month dedicated to the groups and individuals giving back in their communities while helping to share the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach.
The national nonprofit has partnered with hundreds of like-minded charities, community programs, and civic groups throughout the country to remember and honor our nation’s veterans and active duty military all year long year. Giving in July celebrates these groups and highlights the opportunity to do good twice through the sponsorship of veterans’ wreaths via a fundraising program which gives back a portion of each donation to support local programs helping veterans, military families, youth and more in communities across the country.
“Too often we recognize deployed servicemen and women only as the holidays approach and their absence from home during the holiday season is felt most strongly,” said WAA Executive Director Karen Worcester. “Through Giving in July we hope to remind people that veterans and our current military serve and protect us 365 days a year.” Like the well-known marketing idea Christmas in July, considering our own charity during the summer months provides us the opportunity to encourage others to get involved early with the WAA mission – Remember, Honor, Teach – and support our nation’s veterans and military families in the communities they live throughout the year.
This year, more than 1,600 cemeteries will participate in National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, Dec. 14, 2019 – and more than 2,000 fundraising groups will work in their communities to raises funds and awareness to honor the local servicemembers with the placement of sponsored veterans’ wreaths made of fresh Maine balsam. Through WAA’s fundraising program the sponsorship of a $15 veteran’s wreath from one of these groups ensure a wreath is placed in December at the location it supports, and $5 of that sponsorship goes to that group to support programs in their community. For those sponsoring wreaths through a group, they are in fact doing good twice!
Over the last 11 years more than $10 million has been given back through WAA’s national fundraising program to other nonprofits and civic group partners, supporting veteran programs and military families in communities across the country.

What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Your sponsorship will support the new and existing programs developed to share the mission. And, it will place a wreath to honor an American hero at one of more than 3,700 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – a day set aside to lay gathers as Americans with the same goal.
We can’t do that without your support, though. Your sponsorship will ensure a hand-crafted wreath of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red velvet bow here in Columbia Falls, Maine. It will then be sent to one of our participating locations, where a volunteer will place it on the marker of a hero. That volunteer will then “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service, and sacrifice is never forgotten.
So, what does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you have the opportunity to join a grateful nation in saying “thank you” to those who stepped up to serve.
*Please Note: Specific locations designated as "ceremonial-only" accept a limited number of sponsorships. Any additional sponsorships received beyond those used for the ceremony will be distributed to other locations.
