Each year, national nonprofit Wreaths Across America recognizes top sponsorship groups for excellence in serving their local community while helping to share the yearlong mission to Remember, Honor, Teach. Among the thousands of supportive groups honoring locally interred veterans through wreath sponsorships, WAA recently announced that special recognition has been given to five sponsorship groups for their contribution as the 2023 top groups in Texas.
The five top groups of 2023 in Texas include: Wreaths Across DFW (TX1341); Chris and Mary Bush Fundraising Page (TX0019); NBC5 & Telemundo 39 Veteran’s Network (TX0951); DFW Wreaths for Heroes (TX0033); and El Paso Composite Squadron- CAP TX-215 (TX0009P). These five groups combined helped honor over 32,900 veterans in total, contributing to the over 260,200 servicemembers honored throughout the state of Texas on National Wreaths Across America Day 2023.
Since its founding in 2007, WAA has collaborated with hundreds of like-minded organizations, volunteers, and civic groups nationwide to remember and honor our nation’s veterans and active- duty military throughout the year as part of its Group Sponsorship Program. As a 3-for-2 sponsorship group, a third wreath is placed for every two sponsored. Through WAA’s national $5 back program, sponsorships received ‘do good twice’ as $5 of each $17 wreath sponsorsh ip made to a participating group goes back to them to use for their local program and initiatives.
