Representatives of the Alpha Beta ESA chapter present WAC director, Mickey McCamish,
with a $1,000 donation.
Alpha Beta Chapter has provided volunteer and financial support to Wreaths Across
Chattanooga (WAC) for the past several years. During the annual 2024 Kickoff Campaign, the
chapter was proud to present a $1,000 donation to Captain Mickey McCamish, USN Retired,
director of WAC. “Wreaths Across Chattanooga wouldn’t have achieved its level of success
without the involvement of ESA. No matter what the task, Alpha Beta members are always there
placing wreaths, fundraising, donating, and performing administrative tasks,” stated McCamish.
The chapter donation will cover the purchase of 100 wreaths to be laid on the gravestones of
veterans buried in the Chattanooga National Cemetery. Currently, almost 50,000 veterans are
buried in the cemetery. During the 2023 campaign, donations received from sponsors,
businesses, organizations (such as ESA), and individuals helped WAC reach its goal of covering
every gravestone – for the first time in its history.
Alpha Beta volunteers will accept donations for the 2024 WAC campaign on the following
Saturdays: September 7 at Elder’s Ace Hardware on Hwy. 58, October 5 at Elder’s Ace Hardware
in East Brainerd, and November 2 at the Hixson Walmart, or you may make a donation to
Wreaths Across Chattanooga at https://www.chattareaveterans.com/wac.
