The Young Marines of the Marine Corps League was granted the status of Educational Youth Organization in 1980, under IRS-approved guidelines for 501(c)3 tax exempt status, and as such may provide receipts for all gifts and donations made on behalf of our youth. The Desert Devil Dogs Young Marines are involved in a variety of Fundraising endeavors, designed to keep our youth contingent from going "door-to-door." YOUR SUPPORT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! We ask for community assistance in collecting the following items, which may be dropped off at our regular meeting site on Wednesdays between 6-8:30pm, or given to any unit member:
