Wreaths for Biloxi National Cemetery Fundraiser

Biloxi, MS -- It's never too early to get into the holiday spirit.  Organizers of Wreaths for Biloxi National Cemetery got a jump start on fundraising for their annual Christmas event Saturday by hosting the first Puttin' for Patriots at Big Play Family Fun Center.  The organization raised more than $10,000 a year ago and was able to buy about 1,300 wreaths. With more than 18,000 veterans buried at the Biloxi National Cemetery, Riemann Funeral Homes Community Outreach Director Veronica Romano said organizers hope to have enough reusable wreaths for every veteran within three years.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
