The NYC Marine Corps Birthday Gala is an annual event scheduled around November 10 benefitting non-profit organizations. This year proceeds will go to two charities—SEMPER FI & AMERICA’S FUND and ANSWER THE CALL: New York Police and Fire Widow’s and Children’s Benefit Fund.
Our Mission is Critical. Our Duty is Clear. We apply donations to comprehensive, innovative, and proven programs that deliver immediate and long-lasting impact. Our promise is heartfelt and lifelong: The Fund ensures that service members and military families have the resources they need during their recovery and throughout transition back to their communities. thefund.org
Our mission is to support the families of New York City Police Officers, Firefighters, Port Authority Police, and EMS Personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. When these brave men and women make the ultimate sacrifice to protect our city, we believe it is our civic duty to support the families these heroes have left behind. The New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund currently provides financial assistance, hosts special gatherings, and offers a network of support to approximately 600 families. Each year, they distribute over $4 million to the families of our fallen heroes. answerthecall.org
