Capital Alumni Network's (CAN) Wreaths Across America 2011 Arlington Cemetery Campaign

Help CAN honor our nation's fallen by sponsoring a wreath from Wreaths Across America. More than 20,000 wreaths will be placed on graves at Arlington National Cemetery again this December. This year's Annual Wreath Laying Ceremony will take place Saturday, Dec. 10. We will send more information on the event itself at a later date.

Visit http://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/store/ to select your level of support: $15 (for 1 wreath), $33 (for a pair), $60 (for 4 wreaths), $150 (for 10 wreaths) or $1,500 (for 100 wreaths). Once you have chosen your level of support, select either VA or DC as your state; select "Arlington" as the location and select "VACAN01" as your group in order for CAN to receive credit for your donation.
