Help Maynard/Clinton Elks by Sponsoring a Wreath for Wreaths Across America
The national nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) announces the kickoff of its annual Giving in July campaign! For WAA, this annual celebration is dedicated to local groups and individuals participating in the organization’s Sponsorship Group Program. Through this unique program, supporters can help local programs make a difference in their communities with each $17 sponsorship to WAA. The Maynard/Clinton Lodge of Elks #1568 has chosen to use this opportunity to purchase additional wreaths for our veterans, continuing our goal to place a wreath on every veteran’s grave at St. Bridget’s Cemetery in Maynard. You can purchase online here: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/MA0135 (Please note wreaths can also be purchased for veterans by their family at Glenwood Cemetery, contact us at 9787-897-9907 for more information.) Or you can mail your check to: Wreaths Across America, PO Box 249, Columbia Falls, ME 04623 (Please be sure to include our code, MA0135, when you place your order.)
WAA has given back more than $28 million in local contributions through this national program over the last 17 years!
“I have long said it would be disingenuous for us as an organization whose mission is to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom if we do not support other like-minded programs doing just that in their communities,” said WAA Executive Director Karen Worcester. “Our Sponsorship Group Program is a year-round effort, but through ‘Giving in July,’ we hope to remind people that across the country there are programs providing resources to our nation’s veterans, active-duty military and families who need our support now.”
More than 5,000 locations will participate in National Wreaths Across America Day this year on Saturday, December 13, 2025. Maynard/Clinton Lodge of Elks will be participating on this day at 12:00 at St. Bridget’s Cemetery in Maynard. This free event is open to all, and WAA encourages community members to participate by volunteering locally or sponsoring a wreath for an American hero. Please plan to join us.
Wreaths Across America ("WAA") coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies every December to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. Please check out this page to learn how you can help by sponsoring Veterans Remembrance Wreaths or by joining us on Decembe...
