MISSION BBQ donated $352,930 to the national nonprofit Wreaths Across America (WAA) on Feb. 27.

The contribution was made possible thanks to the generosity of MISSION BBQ customers and their support of the American Heroes Cup campaign. The donation will sponsor veterans' wreaths to remember fallen U.S. service members laid to rest at 142 participating locations for placement on National Wreaths Across America Day on Saturday, Dec. 13.

Thanks to donations collected at the Wyomissing location, 127 veterans' wreaths have been allocated for placement at Fairview Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery Annex in Denver.

WAA is best known for its annual wreath-laying ceremonies throughout the United States and beyond at more than 4,900 participating locations. However, the nonprofit's yearlong mission to "Remember the fallen, honor those who serve and teach the next generation the value of freedom" is carried out by millions of volunteers across the country through many community programs.
