OUR VISION
Our goal is to provide funding for 25% of the wreaths for Wreaths across America Day at the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery each year on a continuing basis, while reserving a percentage of our income for other local veteran programs.
Once we have achieved our Wreaths across America funding goal, we will identify other worthy veteran causes to support. Long term we hope to create sufficient reserves for an endowment fund that will assure long term support for all our selected veteran programs.
OUR SUPPORTED ORGANIZATIONS
& FUTURE GOALS
For 10 years now, we keep only what’s needed to get next year’s events started. With no paid staff and a fully volunteer-run organization, overhead stays minimal and funds are directed where they matter most, our veterans.
This money was raised for them, and that’s exactly where it goes.
