Wreaths Across America

Pikes Peak Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution, supports the Wreaths Across America Program. Wreaths Across America (WAA) is a national organization whose mission is to remember and honor our Veterans and teach the younger generation about the value of freedom and the sacrifices made by our Veterans. This year on December 12th , an International program will be conducted at National Cemeteries and affiliated locations in all 50 States, at sea and abroad. Wreaths are placed on Veteran’s graves to honor their service and sacrifices to our Nation. Our Chapter supports WAA as a fund-raising group. For every $15.00 of wreath sponsorship, our Chapter will receive $5.00 back. Funds raised by our efforts will support our Mission of honoring Veterans and the Military, First Responders, Wounded Warriors and Outstanding Youth in the community. To make an on-line donation through our Chapter, use the following link: www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/CO0143P The link will take you directly to our page, from which you can learn more about the programs and sponsor Wreaths. Deadline for purchasing the wreaths is December 02, 2020. Please consider sponsoring Wreaths to honor our Veterans. Spread the word to family and friends as well and encourage them to use our page as a means of sponsorship. Patriotically, Rick Prescott. President, PPCSAR
