Introducing the American Heroes Cup Campaign
In an inspiring initiative, MISSION BBQ has teamed up with Wreaths Across America to launch the American Heroes Cup campaign. This campaign is aimed at honoring our veterans and ensuring that their sacrifices are not forgotten. As of now, for each cup purchased at any MISSION BBQ location, a portion of the proceeds will directly support the placing of wreaths on the headstones of our national heroes.
Details of the Campaign Launch
The campaign kicked off recently, inviting everyone to participate by purchasing the special American Heroes Cup for $4.99. For every cup sold, $2 will be donated to Wreaths Across America, contributing to the sponsorship of veterans' wreaths for the upcoming wreath-laying ceremonies.
A Record of Generosity
Last year, MISSION BBQ's patrons raised an impressive $347,068 through this initiative, enabling the placement of over 20,400 wreaths to honor our service members. It’s heartening to see such community support, which plays a vital role in remembering those who have fought for our freedom.
The Significance of Wreaths Across America
Wreaths Across America is dedicated to teaching the value of freedom by remembering those who sacrificed everything for our country. By placing wreaths at veterans' cemeteries across the nation, they provide a significant way for communities to come together and honor fallen heroes.
Celebratory Events and Exhibitions
As part of the campaign's launch, MISSION BBQ is organizing a public event with an engaging Mobile Education Exhibit. This mobile museum, stationed at their Myrtle Beach restaurant, focuses on educating visitors about the service of veterans and serves as a welcoming point for Vietnam veterans.
