An Opportunity to ‘Do Good Twice’

Since its founding in 2007, Wreaths Across America (WAA) has partnered with thousands of like-minded charities, Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs), community programs and civic groups nationwide to remember and honor our nation’s veterans and active-duty military all year.

Our annual Giving in July campaign celebrates these groups and highlights the opportunity to ‘do good twice’ by sponsoring veterans’ wreaths through the organization’s registered Sponsorship Groups. There are multiple ways to make your sponsorship go the extra mile while sponsoring veterans’ wreaths through a WAA Group.

Through a $5 payback group, $5 will be given back to the group to use for their local programs and mission. WAA has given back more than $32 million in local contributions through this national program over the last 19 years!

Sponsoring a wreath through a $5 forward group will automatically apply $5 towards an additional veteran’s wreath to honor and remember another servicemember who is laid to rest.

Examples of the type of groups that participate include:

  • American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary posts
  • AMVETS
  • Daughters of the American Revolution Chapters
  • Civil Air Patrol Squadrons
  • Scouting Groups
  • VFW’s
  • School and community groups
  • Patriotic motorcycle clubs and more!

Like the well-known concept of ‘Christmas in July,’ supporting our own charity during the summer months encourages others to get involved early in the WAA mission and support our nation’s veterans and military families in the communities they live in now.

How it works:

  • Wreaths Across America™ sponsorships are $17.
  • Funds are collected by each participating group.
  • $5 Back Plan: $5 of each $17 will be returned to the registered sponsorship group on a 30-day reimbursement cycle.
  • $5 Forward Plan: For every paid wreath sponsorship, $5 will automatically be applied forward to the sponsorship of an additional veteran’s wreath.
