FASTPORT and Tenstreet Support Annual Wreaths Across America Appreciation Dinner on the Eve of National Wreaths Across America Day
Wreaths Across America (WAA) is pleased to announce title sponsors FASTPORT and Tenstreet will once again support the annual Appreciation Dinner on Friday, December 15, the eve of National Wreaths Across America Day 2023. The event will take place at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, Va., and be available to watch live on the nonprofit’s official Facebook Page or listen to live on Wreaths Across America Radio. This yearly event celebrates the efforts of millions of volunteers and supporters across the country.
Presented by JPMorgan Chase, the evening’s keynote speaker will be medically retired Army Staff Sgt., and artist, Zeke Crozier. Crozier was serving with the Army Reserve Bravo Company 7-158th Aviation Regiment when a Chinook helicopter he was in crashed. He suffered a traumatic brain injury while deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. Through his challenges, he has found calm and purpose in artistic expression by becoming a maker of bottle cap art.
The evening’s program will include highlights of WAA’s 2023 initiatives that have helped expand its mission to hundreds of new participating locations and thousands of new volunteers around the country. For the fifth year, professional truck drivers delivering veterans’ wreaths for placement at Arlington National Cemetery will be sponsored by Pilot Flying J. These special volunteers will receive a token of recognition from the company and Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) during the event.
“The mission of Wreaths Across America has long been a part of my life and is something I am proud to support all year round,” said Brad Bentley, President, FASTPORT. “Both FASTPORT and our partners at Tenstreet are honored to be able to support this important mission, and hopefully, we will introduce new people to it so they too can learn first-hand how special it is.”
More than 4,100 local communities will honor service members laid to rest this year by placing sponsored veterans’ wreaths as part of National Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, December 16, 2023.

Wreath Sponsorship

What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that 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 that a wreath is hand-crafted 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.
