GEORGWETOWN – Wreaths Across America/Georgetown was recently named a top five sponsorship group by national nonprofit Wreaths Across America.
Each year, Wreaths Across America recognizes top sponsorship groups for excellence in serving their local communities while helping to share the yearlong mission to remember, honor and each. Among the thousands of supportive groups honoring interred veterans through wreath sponsorships, WAA recognizes the top five sponsorship groups in Massachusetts for their meaningful contributions in 2025.
Georgetown’s Wreaths Across America branch came in at No. 4 honoring 3,346 interred servicemen and women.
Combined, these groups honored 53,070 interred servicemembers at 115 participating locations throughout Massachusetts on National Wreaths Across America Day in 2025.
Since its founding in 2007, Wreaths Across America has collaborated with hundreds of like-minded organizations, volunteers, and civic groups nationwide to remember and honor our nation’s veterans. Through its national $5 forward group program, $5 for every $17 sponsorship will automatically be applied to the sponsorship of an additional veteran’s wreath.
Through WAA’s national $5 payback program, wreath sponsorships make an even more significant impact on communities, with $5 of each $17 sponsorship returned to that group, enabling them to support local programs and initiatives even further. WAA has given back nearly $32 million in local contributions through this national program over the last 19 years, according to officials.
“Our mission calls us to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom,” said Wreaths Across America Executive Director Karen Worcester. “Supporting like-minded programs in communities across the country is a natural extension of that commitment. The Sponsorship Group Program empowers local organizations to do meaningful work year-round, while helping us honor even more veterans together.”
This year, National Wreaths Across America Day will be held on Saturday, Dec. 19.
Each $17 sponsorship supports WAA’s year-round mission and the many free programs designed to share it with communities nationwide. In addition, a live balsam wreath will be placed in remembrance on the headstone of an American hero.
