No New Marine Should Stand Alone
Posted on 2/19/2026

Our travel assistance program helps families attend graduation. You can help the families in need so their new Marine is not standing alone on graduation day.

Attending the graduation ceremony for your newly minted Marine is an experience every soon-to-be Marine parent would like to experience. However, some families cannot afford to attend their recruit's graduation. For each boot camp graduation cycle, we raise money to fund our Travel Assistance program. Funds are used to reimburse a recruit's family members who meet our financial need requirements. Administrative costs for the program are funded through MarineParents.com. Recipients are not required to repay the travel costs.
