Local Effort Underway to Support Wreaths Across America

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, October 24th, 2018

Local teams at Howard Family Dental are working hard to ensure that all veterans laid to rest at the Fort Stewart Warriors Walk in Hinesville, Ga. are honored on National Wreaths Across America Day this December 15.
 
This year, the Wreaths for Warriors Walk at Fort Stewart will be held simultaneously to other ceremonies across the country at more than 1,500 locations at noon on December 15. The goal: to place a live, balsam fir wreath at the headstone of every veteran buried there and spread patriotism and commemoration for the ultimate sacrifices they made for our country.
 
From now until December 3, Howard Family Dental will sell wreath sponsorships online and at various office locations to help sponsor the 500 wreaths needed to honor every veteran at Fort Stewart Warriors Walk. Each wreath sponsorship costs $15, with $5 going back to the Howard Family Dental Foundation, which helps fund the Howard Hand in Hand program at St. Joseph’s/Candler. Howard Hand in Hand is a free program that helps provide support, education and guidance to children and teens with a family member facing a life-threatening illness.
 
The following office locations will take cash, check and card donations:

●      Howard Family Dental Hinesville (319H W General Screven Way, Hinesville, GA 31313)

●      Howard Family Dental Midtown (533 Stephenson Avenue, Savannah, GA 31405)
