Funding for the Historic Clarksburg WV Cemetery Preservation Alliance for this past year were due to acombination of private donations, a donation from The City of Clarksburg, and fundraising efforts. Our mainfundraiser this past year was soliciting sponsorships for wreaths through Wreaths Across America. WreathsAcross America is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission of Remembering the fallen, Honoringthose who serve, and Teaching the next generation the value of freedom. WAA holds an annual ceremonyon the third Saturday in December known as Wreaths Across America Day, where live wreaths are placedon the headstones of Veterans as a way to honor all Veterans and active duty military members. Thewreaths comprised of fresh evergreens are a symbolic gesture that has been used for centuries torecognize honor and as a living tribute renewed annually. The tradition is viewed as a living memorial toboth veterans and their families.We raised 111 sponsored wreaths with Wreaths Across America receiving $1110 out of the $1665 total andthe Historic Clarksburg WV Cemetery Preservation Alliance receiving $555 through the payback option. Wewere honored to have 3 cemeteries participate among 1100 other memorials to bring their mission ofRemember Honor Teach to Clarksburg WV. We look forward to having the Jackson Cemetery, the DanielDavisson DAR Cemetery, the former IOOF Cemetery, and others participate for years to come.
