Through their efforts, they aim to foster a sense of community, promote education and awareness, encourage volunteerism, and celebrate the commitment and service to country displayed by our veterans.

Education & Awareness
We believe that it is important for the community to have a clear understanding of the sacrifices made by our military personnel. Through various educational initiatives, we aim to increase awareness and appreciation for their service.
Volunteerism
We encourage individuals to get involved and give back to the community. Whether it’s participating in community service projects or providing support to Veterans and their families, we believe that volunteerism is a powerful way to make a positive impact.
Tradition
We organize events and activities to honor their dedication and sacrifices. These celebrations serve as a reminder of the importance of their service and provide an opportunity for the community to express their gratitude.
As Marines, both active and reserves, young and old, celebrate our Marine Corps birthday each year with a ball. This event is a significant part of our legacy, commemorating 249 years of service and camaraderie. It serves as a time for us to come together and honor the sacrifices made by our fellow Marines. We celebrate the commitment and service to country displayed by Veterans.
Fundraising
We support Marines, families, and veterans residing in Arizona during times of emergency. Our mission is to provide the necessary assistance and resources to individuals who may be facing urgent needs. We believe in the importance of standing together as a community and supporting those who have served our country.
Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have served and continue to serve our nation.
