I volunteer to raise money for The Foundation because I believe it's mission of assisting Marines and former Marines who cannot afford to send their qualified children to college is a most worthy cause. The value set of many of these young people is exactly what has made our country great. Educating them provides America with the potential leaders as well as the good citizens necessary to sustain our leadership position in the world. Honoring the service of these parents by helping to educate their children is a win-win for all concerned.

Working with a group of former Marines to raise significant amounts of money for a very worthy cause.

Dedicated, competent, and driven to succeed.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Ways to make it better...
I could have raised more money for The Foundation.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Volunteer and donor fatigue as we attempt to significantly increase the amount of net revenues we raise to provide scholarships on behalf of The Foundation.
One thing I'd also say is that...
Despite having been engaged in volunteer work for many years, I have not found a more highly motivating and worthy cause than providing assistance to qualified young men and women in completing their educations.

As a retired Air Force Officer and Vietnam Veteran I've worked with many Marines. I have always been impressed with their militarism, moral character, but most of all their dedication to their family. It was my friendship with a retired USMC Col. that convinced me to join the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation. No other organization does so much good for so many who are so deserving. Thank you.

I have been contributing MCSF for about 4 yrs. When I retired, being used to having an amount deducted from my pay for United Way, I was looking for an alternative that I believed in and felt strongly about. MCSF has a sub-fund called Heroes Tribute, that provides scholarships to kids of fallen Marines and Corpsman. I now have an amount charged to my credit card monthly, designated for that fund. It was very easy to set up at their web site www.mcsf.com. The MCSF newsletter called "On Point" alerted me to a new golf fund raiser in Wethersfield CT. I've volunteered at that event ever since.

Contributing to the Heroes Tribute Fund.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Exceptionally dedicated. I've met 2 national event coord. As a volunteer, I'm "small potatoes". But I received a callback from the previous CEO, on a minor matter. I really appreciated it, even though he was dealing with his own tragedy at the time.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Provide more scholarships. Since we are currently active in several theaters, the needs will be greater for the Iraq & Afgan Marine & Corpsman families, for the next 25 yrs.
