Family & Friends of Sarasota National Cemetery Inc has been a registered as Sponsorship Group for 11 years. With your support, we have continuously reached our goal of laying a Veteran's Wreath at every monument at Sarasota National Cemetery during my 8 years as your Location Coordinator and Chairwoman.
The 3 for 2 Sponsorship means that for every two wreaths you sponsor at the cost of $34, a 3rd Wreath is added onto our dashboard and delivered to our cemetery on WAA Day. That 3rd wreath has proven to make the difference each year to successfully Remember and Honor ALL our Veterans at Sarasota National Cemetery. Thank you all for making this Mission a success annually. I KNOW we can do it again this year!
