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!
