🎁 Thank you to everyone who donated to Payton’s Promise for Heroes’ First Annual Adopt-A-Military-Family! 🇺🇸💙

Because of your generosity, we were able to send gifts to 8 amazing children and provide three military families with holiday meal gift cards. You helped make their season brighter in ways that truly matter. ❤️

A huge shoutout to Valmark Financial Group for matching all employee donations and hosting us to wrap gifts together. Your support helped turn a simple idea into something so meaningful.

Payton also had the chance to share more about why she started Payton’s Promise and the heart behind this mission of giving back to our heroes.

Thank you for taking this journey with us. We can’t wait to continue growing, serving, and giving back—with all of you by our side. ✨

There’s Still Time to Honor a Hero.

We’re getting closer to our goal of sponsoring 30 wreaths for Fort Snelling National Cemetery, but we still need your help to make sure every Veteran’s headstone has a wreath this December.

Each wreath tells a story — a story of service, sacrifice, and love for our country.
💚 $17 = 1 wreath placed on a Veteran’s headstone in remembrance and gratitude.
You can even dedicate your wreath in honor or memory of a loved one who served.

We also still have in-person volunteer spots available to place the wreaths on December 13th! 🌿
Children are welcome and encouraged to join — it’s a beautiful, hands-on way to teach them about service, respect, and remembrance.

🎯 Deadline to donate is November 27 — every wreath makes a difference.

Together, we can cover Fort Snelling in wreaths — one hero, one wreath at a time. 🇺🇸

This Veterans Day, Let’s Remember Those Who Served.

Every December, thousands gather at Fort Snelling National Cemetery to lay wreaths on the headstones of our nation’s heroes — a powerful reminder that their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

This year, we’re setting a goal to sponsor 30 wreaths ($500 total) — and we’d love your help! ❤️
👉 A $17 donation places one beautiful live wreath on a Veteran’s headstone. You can also dedicate your donation in honor or memory of a loved one who served.

Fort Snelling still needs 191,185 more wreaths to ensure every service member is honored!

There are two meaningful ways to get involved:
1️⃣ Sponsor a wreath — every $17 helps us reach our goal and ensures a hero is remembered this holiday season.
2️⃣ Join us to volunteer — be part of the moving experience of placing wreaths at Fort Snelling on December 13th. It’s a morning filled with gratitude, unity, and reflection as we quietly thank each Veteran with a single gesture of remembrance.

🎯 Deadline to sponsor a wreath is November 27.

🎁 Two Weeks Left to Make a Difference This Holiday Season!

Through our Adopt a Military Family for the Holidays program, we’re working hard to make sure every child in our sponsored families feels the magic of Christmas. Right now, we’re planning to provide gifts for 8 incredible kids and meal gift cards for each family — but we still need your help to make it happen.

We don’t yet have enough donations to cover all of the kids we’ve committed to — and another military family has reached out directly, hoping for help with their two children as well. 💙

With your support, we can make sure every family feels seen, appreciated, and loved this holiday season. Even the smallest donation makes a difference — every dollar brings us one step closer to brightening a child’s Christmas.

🎯 Only two weeks left to donate!
