Baja Mexican 1000 for the Semper Fi and Americas Funds

WELCOME TO MY FUNDRAISING PAGE!

I was moved by the mission of the Semper Fi & America's Fund after hearing of their work at an event in Dallas. The Fund provides immediate bedside support to severely injured Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen with financial assistance, case management, connection, and lifetime support. As a former Marine Company Commander, I knew I had to find a way to support the Fund's unique and essential role.

While deployed to Northern Norway pre-9/11, a terrible helicopter crash near the Arctic Circle killed and severely injured our Marines. Our deployment was just beginning, and the support of our company wives' group back home helped bridge the gap. While they were fantastic, they lacked the reach and resources the Semper Fi & Americas Fund provides today.

As someone who has experienced the need to help injured Marines, I knew I had to find a way to contribute. That's why my good friend Brian Beaudreault, Lt General, USMC (RET), and I are co-driving my Bronco 1,000 miles cross country from Ensenada, Mexico (just south of San Diego) to San Jose de Cabo (Cabo) over 5 days. We are dedicating this team race, and 100% of the donations received go directly to the Fund. And for every $1,000, we will place a service branch logo on the side of the car with the goal of filling it up much like the helmet of a football team recognizing the sacrifice of our warriors.

Your contributions can help to relieve some of the struggles that our injured warriors and their families face every day.  I’m inspired by their courage, resilience, and determination. And I'm honored to do my part to support them and their families.

Join us in supporting the Semper Fi & America's Fund. Your contribution can make a real difference in the lives of our injured warriors and their families and show them that their sacrifices have not been forgotten. Semper Fi."

About the Fund

The Fund is dedicated to providing immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and military families.

We operate our programs and services through a “needs-based” approach. Staff and volunteers work one-on-one with our service members, veterans, and military families–providing ongoing support for as long as legitimate needs require.

Experienced at anticipating needs, our case managers often introduce new programs to further assist service members and military families throughout the journey to recovery and transition back into their communities.

The Fund processes, on average, 150 grant requests each day. We typically deliver assistance within 24-48 hours of receiving an emergency request and within a week for non-urgent cases. The Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) was started in 2003 by military spouses who immediately volunteered to provide bedside support to those wounded and injured while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Operated today by those same military spouses, The Fund now includes a nationwide staff of patriotic veterans, community members, and volunteers, and The Fund’s model of lifelong relationships between service members and military families and our team is completely unique among veteran nonprofits.
