FREEDOM IS NOT FREE The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation provides financial aid for education, special needs, and care for children of U.S. Marines, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Naturalization Services, Customs Bureau, Secret Service, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bureau, the U.S. Marshals, Naval Criminal Investigative Service and Federal Air Marshal Service. It also awards U.S. Treasury Bonds to children of U.S. Marines and federal law enforcement employees killed in the line of duty. Special consideration may be given to state, county and local law enforcement officers. This Foundation was formed in February of 1995 by a group of former Marines and federal law enforcement officers met and sought a vehicle to assist the children of Marines and federal law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. We wanted to do it in a way that would have an immediate life changing effect on the surviving parent and the children who, in most cases, lost their father. That was the beginning of the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. Our Mission Statement is the same as it was back DHS in 1995 and has not changed: “TO ENCOURAGE THE SPIRITUAL, MORAL, INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN THROUGH EDUCATION. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE OUR NATIONS MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE IS ITS YOUTH AND THEY MUST BE CARED FOR” Through your continuous support, our Foundation has distributed aid with a value of more than $71 million to more than 3,900 CHILDREN OF OUR FALLEN MARINES AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS who were killed on duty or died under extraordinary circumstances while serving our country at home or abroad. When a child of a United States Marine is afflicted with a physical or mental disability and requires special medical equipment or tutoring, our Foundation may grant financial assistance to that family if their personal insurance does not cover the complete cost of treatment for this child. This assistance has had a positive, and immediate life-changing effect on many, many children. We are thankful for the commitment and support of our many members and volunteers. Because of their dedication 98.4% of all donations to MC-LEF go directly to fund our mission. The Foundation is registered to participate in the Combined Federal Campaigns (CFC #10507). It is also an Internal Revenue Service 501 © 3 Tax-Exempt Charity, Federal Tax ID # 22-335-7410 A wealth of information about the Foundation at http://www.mc-lef.org. 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 4 Value of Our Awards as of December 31, 2016 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 5 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 6 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 7 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 8 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 9 98689_2017 MCLEF Program Book_57405-USMC-Golf-Book-06 6/5/17 9:50 AM Page 10 The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation Expresses its Deepest Appreciation to all Our Friends. and Supporters.
