Wreaths Across America Partnership With WTA
Use THIS LINK to purchase a wreath and guarantee that $5 goes back to Washington Trucking Associations.
Wreaths Across America (WAA) is excited to roll out a revenue generating program for the state trucking associations. The WAA Virtual Convoy program allows our membership to support the yearlong WAA mission, help remember and honor all those laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery and raise funds for Washington Trucking Associations (WTA).
What is the WAA Virtual Convoy program?
The program is a nationwide fundraising and awareness campaign where each state trucking association sells wreath sponsorships through a specific state trucking association/WAA webpage for $17 per wreath and the state association in turn receives $5 per wreath sponsorship sold. Each sponsorship ensures a live, balsam veteran’s wreath is placed on the headstone of an American servicemember, and supports the organization’s year-round mission to Remember, Honor, Teach.
The goal for this campaign is two-fold
Raise awareness and engage your membership and community in sponsoring wreaths so that nearly all the eligible markers at Arlington National Cemetery where servicemembers from every U.S. conflict and every state are laid to rest have a wreath placed on their headstone.
Allow the state trucking associations to earn revenue for their association. For example, one trailer of wreaths is approximately 5,000 wreaths, equating to $25,000 in revenue for the WTA!
Help us reach our goal
• Sponsor a wreath(s) now by clicking on our state association group page at Wreaths Across America. You must sponsor your wreaths through this site or WTA will not receive the credit or the $5 back.
• Send our group page link to your workforce, vendors, family, and friends and encourage them to get involved. If they all sponsored just one wreath, our goal should easily be reached
About Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun in 1992. The organization’s mission – Remember, Honor, Teach – is carried out in part each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at Arlington, as well as at thousands of veterans’ cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states and beyond. For many years, the continued generosity of the trucking industry has enabled Wreaths Across America to distribute veterans’ wreaths to their final destinations. In 2022, 2.7 million wreaths were delivered by more than 300 companies to over 3,700 participating locations across the continental United States and abroad!
