Wreaths Across America Expands Mobile Giving Foundation Partnership with AT&T Veterans

Wreaths Across America (WAA), in close partnership with the Mobile Giving Foundation and AT&T Veterans, is expanding its successful 2019 pilot “Text-to-Donate” campaign. Donors wanting to support the WAA program at Georgia National Cemetery located at 1080 Veterans Cemetery Road, Canton, GA and Marietta National Cemetery located at 500 Washington Ave. in Marietta, GA will be able to make this year’s tax-deductible contributions through text messages. 

“We are so grateful for the local support of AT&T Veterans and Mobile Giving Foundation with the expansion of the text-to-date program in Georgia” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “This year especially, it is more important than ever to offer a safe, easy way to support the mission and dedicated volunteers in the community.” Tom Wilder, WAA Volunteer added, “The Georgia National Cemetery is the resting place for 22,750 veterans who served our Country. The Georgia National Cemetery Advisory Council will raise funds to place 17,000 wreaths on the Headstones and Columbariums on December 19th.”

To sponsor a wreath, at the Georgia National Cemetery text WREATH41 to 20222 to help them reach their ultimate goal of 17,000 wreaths which presently stands at 20% of coverage goal. To sponsor a wreath at Marietta National Cemetery text WREATH40 to 20222 to help place 18,500 wreaths which presently stands at 11% to goal with only 2 months before Wreaths Across America Day on December 19th.

Please help honor our America heroes with your donation as each $15 sponsorship goes toward a fresh balsam veteran’s wreath that will be placed on their headstone with the hope that all veterans at this cemetery can be honored this December 19, 2020, as part of National Wreaths Across America Day. 

A one-time donation of $15.00 will be added to your mobile phone bill each time the keyword is used, you may donate up to $100 in 30 consecutive days.
