Fundraising

First established in 2013, Heroes Among Us (HAU) is a six-month speaker series running from May to October each year. The speaker series features veterans of every service branch and generation sharing their experiences with the community.

The Marine Corps League of Pensacola’s annual Auto Show began in 2001 and has grown into one of our biggest fundraisers. Enjoy a day out with the family and see awesome cars, motorcycles, and military vehicles.

For over 40 years, the military and civilian communities of Pensacola have come together for the Annual Semper Fi 5K Run. In partnership with TEL Staffing & HR, the Pensacola Marine Corps League, Cpl J. R. Spears Detachment 066 hosts the 5K run to raise funds for children's and veteran-focused charitable organizations.

Through the Veterans In Need Fund, the Marine Corps League in Pensacola provides immediate, red-tape-free financial assistance and comprehensive support services to honorably discharged Veterans and their families. Assistance ranges from covering urgent bills, rent, and food to providing healthcare, employment counseling, and more.

The objectives of the program are to help less fortunate children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources–our children.

Twice each year, on Memorial and Veterans’ Days, and through the gracious hospitality of the Cracker Barrel Restaurant on Pine Forest Road and I-10, we have our annual Rock-a-thon.
