August 2019 Fundraising and Location Templates
As we enter the early fall season, many of you have already begun ramping up fundraising efforts; making bigger asks for sponsorships, hosting more events, etc. We wanted to make that huge task a little easier with a few template letters for your guidance. The three templates are available online now via thisGoogle Drive link.
The first template is a letter asking for donations, either in-kind goods or services for an event or sponsorship dollars for wreaths. This letter should be used when addressing businesses in your city or town that may not have participated in your Wreaths Across America local mission in previous years.
The second template is a follow-up thank you letter to those businesses that support your mission. At Wreaths Across America, we are grateful for every donation of sponsored wreaths, time, and support. Acknowledging those businesses that help your location grow is an important part of continuing our mission year after year.
The final template is an invitation to local dignitaries and VIPs. Many of you have begun thinking about your Wreaths Across America Day ceremonies and who from your community you would like to attend as an honored guest, speaker, etc. This letter should be highly personalized and the template used more as a guideline to ensure all critical details are accounted for in your invitation.
As always, please know that our staff at headquarters is happy to assist in any way as you use these templates this season.

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.
