Wreaths Across America (WAA) and MISSION BBQ have kicked-off of the national “American Heroes Cup” campaign to raise funds to sponsor veterans’ wreaths to be placed on the headstones of our nation’s heroes during the 2024 National Wreaths Across America Day events.
Starting on Sunday, November 12, through the end of 2023, for every American Heroes Cup purchased for $4.99 at any of MISSION BBQ’s 131 locations, $2 will be donated to WAA to sponsor veterans’ wreaths. In 2022, MISSION BBQ customers raised $369,590 for WAA through its American Heroes Cup campaign, sponsoring the placement of more than 24,600 veterans’ wreaths in memory of our nation’s servicemembers. These wreaths will be placed by volunteers at more than 90 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, December 16, 2023.
“We owe everything to our nation’s veterans, who have risked all that a person can to defend and protect this country,” said Bill Kraus, co-founder of MISSION BBQ. “It’s an honor to support Wreaths Across America in remembering the fallen and thanking military families for their sacrifices.”
American Heroes Cups are available year-round with $2 of every cup purchased donated to a charity supporting veterans and first responders. Through December 31, 2023, proceeds from the American Heroes Cups will be donated to WAA. Customers are encouraged to bring their American Heroes Cup on return visits to the restaurant to receive $0.99 refills. To find MISSION BBQ locations, visit https://mission-bbq.com/locations.
