Support local Sponsorship Groups in your community now while sharing the year-long mission to Remember, Honor, Teach.
Columbia Falls, Maine, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, 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.
Since its founding in 2007, WAA has collaborated with hundreds of charities, community programs and civic groups nationwide to remember and honor our nation’s veterans and active-duty military all year. Giving in July celebrates these groups and highlights the opportunity to give back to them through the sponsorship of veterans’ wreaths.
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.”
