Educating the children of those who sacrificed all.

Thank you to all those that joined us at the 2024 Michael DiFrancesco Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation Gala & Golf Tournament

Our Mission

Thanks to our generous donors, MC-LEF currently establishes a $35,000 educational account for every child who loses a parent serving on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, Navy Corpsman or as a Federal Law Enforcement Agent. Since our founding in 1995, MC-LEF has awarded over $92 million in educational accounts and other humanitarian assistance to over 4800 recipients. We  have only one paid employee and, therefore, the vast majority of our efforts are performed by a dedicated group of volunteers who run our various events.  

Additionally, all officers and board members are also volunteers and together, we are extremely efficient in running our organization so that donor funds are predominantly used  to accomplish our mission of Educating the Children of Those Who Sacrificed All.

Payment can be made by credit card OR by check, payable to MC-LEF and sent via U.S. Mail to: PO Box 704, Maple Shade, NJ 08052

 As of December 31, 2023, we have awarded

$2,231,344

to 158 recipients this year

Since 1995, we have awarded

$92,489,482

to 4,873 recipients.

MCLEF will cover the cost of cranial orthotic helmets for children of active duty Marines or Navy Corpsman.
