Last week, Wreaths Across America (WAA) and MISSION BBQ announced the national kick-off of the “American Heroes Cup” campaign to raise funds to sponsor veterans’ wreaths for placement on the headstones of our nation’s heroes during the 2026 National Wreaths Across America Day ceremonies.
Through the end of 2025, for every American Heroes Cup purchased at any MISSION BBQ location for $4.99, $2 will be donated to Wreaths Across America to sponsor veterans’ wreaths for placement in December 2026.
Last year, MISSION BBQ customers raised $352,930 for WAA through its American Heroes Cup campaign, sponsoring the placement of more than 20,760 veterans’ wreaths in memory of our nation’s servicemembers – these wreaths will be placed by volunteers from more than 140 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – Sat., December 13, 2025.
Until December 31, 2025, proceeds from the American Heroes Cups will be donated to WAA. Customers are encouraged to bring their American Heroes Cup on future visits to the restaurant to receive $1.49 refills.
Locally, donations for Wreaths Across America can be dropped off at the Johnson Danielson Funeral Home on North Michigan Street in Plymouth. Each wreath costs $17, but donations of any amount are appreciated.
