What We Do

Services

The Marine Corps Veterans Association provides a wide range of services to support Marines, veterans, and their families — from community outreach to ceremonial honors.

Color Guard & Ceremonies

Color Guard & Ceremonies

MCVA members serve as an official color guard at civic events, memorial ceremonies, parades, and public functions throughout the community. We proudly represent the Marine Corps at every appearance.

Community Outreach

From Fisher House donations to local charity drives, MCVA members are active in giving back to the communities that support our veterans. We believe service doesn't end when the uniform comes off.

Events Per Year

MCVA members show up — at ceremonies, in communities, and for each other. Our collective service extends far beyond our membership, touching the lives of veterans, families, and communities across the region.

Veterans Organization Partnerships

  • The MCVA supports the Marine Corps Association Foundation, publishers of Leatherneck magazine. Our donations provide Leatherneck and Marine Corps Gazette magazines to convalescing soldiers and Marines at veterans’ hospitals around the world throughout the year. We are the sole contributor to this program, with donations totaling more than $50,000.
  • MCVA issued an $8,000 donation to the Montford Point Marines in honor of their service to America during WWII.
  • We are proud to be a sponsor and participant in the Annual Cinema City International Film Festival at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. MCVA sponsors all-expenses-paid trips for combat veterans and their guests as a way of saying thank you to veterans severely injured while serving our country in Iraq or Afghanistan.
  • MCVA has made donations to the Veterans Memorial Golf Tournament in Concord, California. The tournament has raised over $116,000 for the Polytrauma Unit in Palo Alto, California. At the Polytrauma Unit, the Association has paid for Friday Night Dinners for patients suffering from brain injuries sustained in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as meals for their families.
  • We have supported Pathway Home at the VA hospital in Yountville, California. Our donations have helped this program aid returning veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
