2024 So Far
892 Wreaths Sponsored 44.6% to Goal 1,108 To Go!
Welcome to the PA0254 - Cumberland Valley Corvette Club's Wreaths Across America Page. A few CVCC members first got involved with Wreaths Across America in 2016 when only about one third of the then 27,000 veterans graves at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery got wreaths. It was a moving experience, but very sad to see that most graves did not get a wreath. We wanted to make a difference, so we became a Sponsorship Group. With many other groups we were just a few thousand wreaths short in 2017. In 2018, for the first time ever, all the graves received a Remembrance Wreath! Thankfully, that goal was also reached for the next several years. Unfortunately, in 2022 and again in 2023 not all graves got a wreath and we can’t let that happen again! There will be almost 46,000 graves by December 2024 so we really need your help.
When you sponsor wreaths through our group, for every two wreaths you sponsor, THREE wreaths will be sent to “The Gap” for placement through the “3-for-2” program (like Buy-2-Get-1-Free!). There’s nothing special to do while ordering, it all happens automatically.
Thank you so much for supporting the PA0254 - Cumberland Valley Corvette Club and Wreaths Across America!

Wreath Sponsorship
Cumberland Valley Corvette Club (PA0254) |43229|
Did you know that Wreaths Across America now offers recurring sponsorships? You can select the occurrence and cancel or pause anytime! Register now by completing this form! (https://tinyurl.com/n735zrbr)
What does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that serve and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Your sponsorship will support the new and existing programs developed to share the mission. And, it will place a wreath to honor an American hero at one of more than 3,700 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – a day set aside to lay gathers as Americans with the same goal.
We can’t do that without your support, though. Your sponsorship will ensure that a wreath is hand-crafted of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red velvet bow here in Columbia Falls, Maine. It will then be sent to one of our participating locations, where a volunteer will place it on the marker of a hero. That volunteer will then “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service and sacrifice is never forgotten.
So, what does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you have the opportunity to join a grateful nation in saying “thank you” to those who stepped up to serve.
*Please Note: Specific locations designated as "ceremonial-only" accept a limited number of sponsorships. Any additional sponsorships received beyond those used for the ceremony will be distributed to other locations.
