Carroll County Marine Corps League Detachment 896 is hosting a fund raising Golf Tournament in order to assist military families in need, the wounded warrior homes program, providing mobile wheel chairs to those veterans less fortunate and in need, and various youth programs throughout the region such as Young Marines, JROTC, and Toys for Tots to name a few.

 The funds collected will be allocated to those organizations mentioned above and accounted for through general membership oversight and budget committee membership within the detachment. Oversight as described ensures funds are appropriately dispersed and accounted for not only for transparency purposes but for the good of the order.

The Golf Tournament is an annual event that has raised thousands of dollars in recent past, but the goal for this year is a solid $10,000 benchmark to fulfill our commitments to those we serve and will serve in the future. The Golf Tournament will commences tomorrow on 19 May 2017 and we would be honored to have you be a part of the tournament or to simply donate to the cause.  Please send donations to PO Box 1524, Westminster, MD 21158

 We as Marines and FMF Corpsmen all took an oath to protect and serve our country and to never leave anyone behind...help us to continue this mission and serve those still in need of our services. You can learn more about our detachment by going to our link at:
