Congratulations! Wreath Day is almost here and you have done an amazing job this year helping to share the mission to Remember, Honor and Teach. 

No matter the challenge, our volunteers step up and find solutions. YOU should be very proud of the work you’ve done in 2022, and continue to do to ensure this mission continues. The team at WAA sure is!

After the success and great feedback HQ received from the last two year’s matching campaign, we are again reaching out with an opportunity to help you kick off a great start to 2023! 

Starting on National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, Dec. 17, and running through Sunday, Jan. 15, 2023 - all wreaths sponsored through a registered WAA Sponsorship Group will be matched by HQ for placement next December! 

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

• This is only for sponsored wreaths - so if you are a 3-for-2 group, you will only get the paid wreaths matched, not the third free wreath. And for $5 back groups, you will not get the $5 back on the free matched wreath. And of course, regular no plan sponsorships will be matched as well!
• The match will only be honored on checks dated and mail received postmarked during the 12/17/22-1/15/23 timeframe. If checks are submitted from outside this timeframe the wreaths will not be matched.
• If you are a Location that would like to participate and benefit from this program, please contact your liaison about registering as a Sponsorship Group.

HQ will be sharing this news with a link to search Participating Sponsorship Groups across all our channels, including in the December Mission Matters Newsletter, on Wreaths Across America Radio, and all our social media pages. We’ll also post graphics, which you can download below, in the January Messaging Guide that you can use for your own social media channels. Remember to use your Sponsorship Group's direct link https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/NJFECF, in your social media posts to ensure that your Group gets credit for sponsorships. The holidays are a great time to encourage people to give the gift of remembrance. A wreath sponsorship makes a wonderful, inexpensive, yet heartfelt gift!

Just like the match we did last December-January, the Finance team will need time to process all the orders and update everyone’s wreath counts, including carry overs from this year and the matches. Finance will send out reports to all participants so you can see the breakdown once completed - likely by the end of February.

Thank you all for your amazing work this year. Together, we are honoring more than 2.5 million veterans at 3,700 participating locations across the country. 

This mission grows because of all of you bringing awareness to your communities. THANK YOU!

Remember. Honor. Teach.
