Details

What: Initial Setup of Wreath Stands and American Flags next to all Veteran Headstones

Where: Meet in Garden of Trees section in the northeast section of the cemetery, for those who attended before this is our normal starting point.

We do have one new section this year, Monument Garden. Let's meet at Garden of Trees as we have done in the past, from there, we'll send teams out to different areas to divide and conquer.

What to bring:

  • Bring a broom or soft scraper to clear dirt and leaves from headstones
  • Mallet to place flags.

How long: If we have a decent amount of people show up (20ish) we should be able to power through this in about 2 hours. People who have shown up late in the past have had very little to help with. Be on time or even a little early if you want to get involved and help out.

Want to help more? If you are able to contribute to the purchase of wreaths it would be most appreciated. Fundraising is our biggest challenge. We prefer you donate directly to Greater Dallas using Venmo @GreaterDallas DAR to receive the volume discount. You may also purchase directly from WAA at wreathsacrossamerica.org/TX0603

Please donate to these designated sites so that Sparkman-Hillcrest will receive the wreaths you purchase.

If you donate $200 or more your name will be recognized during the ceremony and noted in the program.
