Since it was founded in 1995, the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation has provided more than $88 million to children, serving 4,600 recipients, with 97% of all donations going toward fulfilling its mission. “We are grateful for our sponsors, our suppliers and vendors, who year after year step up to make this a successful fundraising event for MC-LEF. We had another amazing outing enjoyed by all,” said Gene Sepe, President and CEO, Brescome Barton.
