WREATHS ACROSS AMERICA

For information on how to order wreaths on-line and pay with a credit card or electronic check, please go to our Wreaths Across America page! 

For the past 5 years, we have been registered sponsors for Wreaths Across America.  We hope to one day raise enough money to sponsor a wreath for every single veteran buried at Florence National Cemetery this December.  For every 2 wreaths sponsored through Blue Star Mothers of Coastal Carolina, Wreaths Across America provides a 3rd one for free.  Check out our Wreaths Across America page for more information about the program.  You can retrieve an order form from that link.

Special thanks to Amy Flora and Caris Healthcare, who organized and hosted SpringFest on April 30, 2016.  Together, we raised nearly $5,000 for our 2016 Campaign. Way to Go!!!!

We are already planning a Christmas Bazaar for November 4, 2017, to boost our 2017 campaign.  Watch for further details!!

  Thanks to all who helped make our 2014 Gold Star Mothers Day a big success.  We had 8 Gold Star Mothers in attendance, and many from our Grand Strand community who came out to show their support for the sacrifices made by these mothers, their famililes, and their children - who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.
