The wreaths:  All of the wreaths that are placed on graves at Fort Snelling on Wreaths Across America day are from donations. There are 255,000 graves at Fort Snelling so anything donated to help provide wreaths for those graves is very appreciated.

Walk to Mars?

​“Walk to Mars” is an organization-wide fitness challenge for ALL members to participate in enough physical activity so that CAP generates the “equivalent” total distance of 33.9 million statute miles--the average distance from the Earth to the planet Mars. This challenge also promotes the importance of making physical activity a conscious part of one's day.

ANY and ALL physical activity performed by any active CAP member can, and should,be reported. This includes things like:
  • Cadets doing team sports or gym at school, or activities with other organizations, or with their families on personal time.
  • Seniors doing team or personal fitness activities at any time.
  • Any member using a Fitbit, iPhone or other tracker can use all distances/steps that are NOT reported as a separate activity. (Please, no double reporting.)

Please use this handy activity Conversion Chart before uploading on the button below.

There will be a healthy competition between Wings from now until Sept 2020. Opportunities for individual recognition will also be available. See more about the program here: ​“Walk to Mars”
