Www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/fl0498p

As Announced today at our event!

NEW NEWS!
After the success and great feedback HQ received from the last five years’ matching campaigns, we are again reaching out to say “Thank You” by helping you kick off a great start to 2026!
As background, December is the single largest month for giving in the U.S. The final week of the year is historically the largest as companies and individuals consider making tax-deductible donations before the calendar year ends. It is also a great time as sponsors and volunteers have just participated and had a great experience with the mission, and are still thinking of the event and program. The holidays are also a great time to encourage people to give the gift of remembrance. A wreath sponsorship makes a thoughtful and heartfelt gift!
Starting on National Wreaths Across America Day, Saturday, Dec. 13, 2025, and running through Dec. 31, 2025 - HQ will match all veterans’ wreaths sponsored through a registered WAA Sponsorship Group for placement on next year’s National Wreaths Across America Day - Saturday, Dec. 19, 2026!

With the generous sponsorships of those in attendance today with the matching we should be over 50 wreaths for next year already. *(I will not be able to see accurate numbers until WAA headquarters resets our page, which should be by Jan 1)

Thank you to everyone who came out and placed wreaths today. Because of all of you, 312 veterans were honored this year at Oakside. Although we could only place 312 wreaths, I know that every veteran there was honored in our hearts. We look forward to seeing you all next year to continue the mission.

We just received our phone call from our driver! Wreaths will be arriving on Thursday from Maine. We have finished this year out at 312 wreaths. This includes 8 ceremonial wreaths, 60 grave specific wreaths, and 244 general placement wreaths.

We will be beginning placement at promptly 11am on Saturday December 13, 2025. The ceremony will follow at 12pm to give us time to make sure all wreaths are placed and everything is set up.
Please do not park in the grass unless it is along 1st street outside of the cemetery, if you will be parking in the cemetery, please go as far back as possible so that our less mobile guests and volunteers may park closer to the ceremony location. Park on the blacktop areas only.

If you are volunteering to place wreaths, we will start the limit to one per person and you may come back for more if they are available, unless it is a grave specific, we would like to try to cover the graves in the front of the cemetery so that passersby are able to see and hopefully help us get full coverage next year.

There will be hot chocolate, coffee, and snacks available for all in attendance, until supply is gone. Please bring your own chair for the ceremony as there are no seating areas, also there are no restroom facilities at Oakside, there are close local businesses with public restrooms.

We look forward to seeing you all at the event and Thank you for your support, without it we could not honor these veterans with wreaths.
