The Wreaths of Joy Campaign is designed to spread cheer, while also raising funds for a great cause during the holiday season. Local organizations and businesses are able to donate a decorative wreath to the campaign by November 7th.
Community members are able to vote on the wreaths through a paid donation and will be entered into a raffle to win the wreath they have voted on. All proceeds will go to the United Way of Danville-Pittsylvania County.
Display & Voting Period: Nov. 10 – Dec. 17, 2025
Wreaths will be displayed for public viewing and voting throughout this time in the Atrium of the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.
How the Voting and Raffle will work:
– Votes will be through donations and each dollar donated equals a raffle ticket. (i.e. $1 donation = 1 raffle ticket)
– Each wreath has a different link to donate, click the button below (or scan the QR code if in-person), and donate online.
Wreath Raffle:
At the end of the campaign, wreaths will be raffled off to those who have donated to that particular wreath design. Winners will be notified on Dec. 17 and will have until Friday, Dec. 19 to pick up their wreaths.
