Description

We are proud to share that the North Dakota Motor Carriers Association (NDMCA) is participating in the Wreaths Across America Virtual Convoy! 

Through this effort, we will be working to fill one trailer load of sponsored veterans’ wreaths to send to Arlington National Cemetery this December. This is approximately 5,000 wreaths which will be laid on the final resting place of servicemembers from our state. 

With each $17 wreath sponsored, we will receive $5 back from WAA. 

Many of you have expressed you would like to be involved in the WAA mission but aren’t able to provide transportation, fuel, or drivers, so this is your opportunity to support our nations veterans and their families at a time of year when its most meaningful. If you have volunteered in the past – thank you and please stay engaged, sponsor a wreath, and encourage others to do the same. 

The Virtual Convoy program will allow NDMCA to engage our workforce and families in this important mission, receive media attention for the association and earn revenue as well. Help us reach our goal! Sponsor a wreath(s) now by clicking on our state association group page at https://wreathsacrossamerica.org/northdakotamotor or visit www.ndmca.org and click on the banner ad. You must sponsor your wreaths through this site or NDMCA will not receive the credit or the $5 back.
