We are excited to announce that after the success and positive feedback Wreaths Across America (WAA) received from last year’s matching campaign, they are again helping us kick off a great start to 2021!

Starting on National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, Dec. 19, and running through Friday, Jan. 15, 2021 - all wreaths sponsored through a registered WAA Sponsorship Group will be matched by WAA for placement next December!

How You Can Help Sponsor a Fallen Veteran at The Wreaths Across America Upcoming Event for next year?

Please join The Exchange Club of Tempe & Scottsdale and Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery by sponsoring a wreath. Currently there are almost 1600 Veterans buried at Green Acres. Our goal is to have a wreath placed at every Veteran's grave. Please help us honor and remember as many fallen heroes as possible by sponsoring remembrance wreaths.

NATIONAL WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA DAY. Observed annually on a Saturday in December designated by Congress, National Wreaths Across America Day is a movement to cover all Veterans grave markers with a Christmas wreath. Remember. Honor. ... This is the mission of Wreaths Across America.

On Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 10:00 AM, Exchange Club of Tempe (AZ0120P) and Scottsdale, will be helping Green Acres Mortuary & Cemetery. Other cemeteries in Arizona will also be participating such as National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, Prescott National Cemetery, Southern Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery of Camp Navajo, Arizona Veterans Memorial Cemetery, and Marana Mortuary Cemetery to Remember and Honor our veterans by laying Remembrance wreaths on the graves of our country's fallen heroes.
