National Capital Area Campaign Celebratory Gala

From the front lines of freedom to units right here in DC, Marines make legendary sacrifices. Sending their children to school shouldn’t be one of them. That’s why at the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation we’ve been Honoring Marines by Educating Their Children for more than half a century. It’s a national mission that starts right here at home.

Thanks to patriotic investors like you and your support of the National Capital Area Campaign, we’re putting Honor, Courage, and Commitment to work in our Nation’s Capital. We hope you can join us on Saturday, June 14, 2024 for the 38th Annual National Capital Area Campaign Celebratory Gala.

Suggested Attire: Black Tie or Military Evening Dress “B” Uniform

If You Can, You Must Scholarship Initiative

More than 14 years ago, Dakota Meyer, a U.S. Marine serving in the War in Afghanistan, risked his life to bravely save the lives of U.S. and Afghan forces in the Battle of Ganjgal. For his actions, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, the first living Marine in more than forty years to receive the award. Since leaving active duty, Dakota has embraced opportunities for continued service. Through his partnership with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, the “If You Can, You Must” Scholarship will provide educational scholarships to the children of Marines and inspire the future leaders of America.
