Withum’s Veterans Team Member Resource Group (TMRG) and Not-for-Profit and Education Services Team proudly sponsored a total of 2,792 wreaths, in conjunction with team members and friends and family of the Firm from all Withum’s U.S. offices, for Wreaths Across America’s annual wreath-laying ceremony.
Wreaths Across America is a national initiative with a mission to remember the fallen, honor those who serve and teach the next generation the value of freedom. Each year, Wreaths Across America coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies during the holiday season to honor fallen veterans.
Volunteers nationwide participate in these ceremonies by visiting nearly 5,000 cemeteries and laying garland wreaths on each veteran’s grave. The theme for 2024’s Wreaths Across America initiative is “Live with Purpose,” highlighting the remarkable stories of volunteers doing inspiring and impactful work in their communities.
Withum is proud to join Wreaths Across America in its mission to Remember, Honor and Teach. We are glad for the opportunity to promote a greater understanding of the sacrifices made by veterans during the holiday season. We hope that this gesture brings comfort to families missing their loved ones over the holidays.

Proud Sponsor of Wreaths Across America
One of Withum’s core values focuses on a commitment to the communities in which team members live and work. Our team members are dedicated community servants, and we are proud to support and uplift the many Not-For-Profit and community-based organizations that enrich our communities. As a testament to the Withum Way– ten tenets that define Withum’s unique culture – team members and friends of the Firm proudly sponsored 1,874 wreaths alongside 918 wreaths from Withum’s Veterans TMRG and the Firm’s Not-for-Profit and Education Services Team. Withum has proudly donated nearly 11,000 wreaths in our five years of sponsorship.
Participating in an event like this is an honor, our team is passionate about supporting nonprofits because it's part of who we are. Local or international, our goal is to help organizations succeed in fulfilling their missions.
