Wreaths Across America (WAA) has announced registration is open for its annual Stem to Stone Races scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 6, 2022. This live, in-person event takes place in Columbia Falls, Maine, on the tip lands where balsam is grown and harvested each year to make the veterans’ wreaths that are then placed on the headstones of our nation’s heroes for Wreaths Across America Day. They also have the option to participant in the fun from anywhere utilizing one of the many virtual options.
“This our fourth year offering hosting this event, and to date we’ve been really happy with the turnout not only in Maine, but across the country,” said Karen Worcester, executive director, Wreaths Across America. “The Stem to Stone Race is a great way to stay active, be healthy, get involved in the community and do something meaningful for people who have done so much for us. We encourage everyone to get involved either virtually or in-person, and help share the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach.”
These races serve to help further community awareness and understanding of WAA’s year-long mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those that served and their families, and Teach the next generation about the value of freedom.
Every race registration sponsors a fresh balsam veteran’s wreath for placement on National Wreaths Across America Day – Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022. You can personalize your efforts by designating a local Sponsorship Group or Participating Location you’d like your sponsored wreath allocated to during the registration process. Just have the location or group ID available during checkout.
