2019 MURCA V50K

 

MURCA wrapped up 2018 fundraising with nearly $15,000 raised for the Semper Fi Fund. Next year we will shift our focus to a few smaller organizations who are closely aligned with MURCA’s mission and ethos. 

Thank you for your interest in MURCA’s 2018 Fundraising Efforts, entitled The Semper Fi Project.

MURCA is on a mission to raise money and awareness for the Semper Fi Fund leading up to 10 November 2018 (the 243rd Marine Corps Birthday). MURCAns are using their passion for running to help support their brothers and sisters-in-arms through the Semper Fi Fund. The Semper Fi Fund provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support to post-9/11 combat wounded, critically ill and catastrophically injured members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. We deliver the resources they need during recovery and transition back to their communities, working to ensure no one is left behind. Visit the Semper Fi Fund to learn more.

The MURCA Semper Fi Project consists of numerous fundraising efforts by MURCAns located worldwide, including: running events, pledges and contributions for races, crowdfunding, auctions, t-shirt boosters, raffles, and other creative ways to raise money and awareness.
