Need Help Finding Marine Orginization to send Contribution

I am requesting help in tracking down a charity organization that I have heard mentioned on Rush Limbaugh several times.I think it has the name "Marines" in its title. It does not appear on his website, (or I can't find it there), but he has often spoken of his fondness for this charity because they use 100% of contributions for the intended purposes, as opposed to the 40-60% that most charities have left after they deduct their marketing expenses and such. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this is off-topic and offends anyone.

Grateful for your help.

I don't know what you are seeking, but the most significant contributions I make tHROUGH the marines is "toys for tots". It is run by the Marine Reserves...

...GOAL: The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.

USMC Toys for Tots?

Marine Corps College Fund?

Maybe this?

Or maybe it's the Human Fund, run by a Marine Biologist (and architect).

Your first reply was a home run, and your second reply was funny. Thanks a million!

The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation

The Blog | Deanne Stillman: Rush Limbaugh's Strange Purpose-Driven Life | The Huffington Post

I may not agree with Rush all the time, but your comments, Deanne, on asking what he does with his own "earned" profits are ludicrous.

Rush has given literally MILLIONS of his own dollars to charities, including the Leukemia and Lymphoma (sp?) societies, as well as the Marine Corps /Law Enforcement dependents scholarship funds...

Thanks. Iwas aware of that one, but not the one I'm looking for. I think Larry Lucido hit upon it with the SemperFi Fund. It sounds great.

[Larry Lucido]

Looks like Buddy B nailed it. Rush is a director.

So, I suppose my next guess, "Home for Wayward Marine Girls," would have been wrong.

But I'm still going to post the pic. :-)

Are you thinking of the Marine/Navy relief fund?. I know they have helped a lot during times of Marine Family emergencies.

[weeder]

So I got a twofer............ Your suggested charity, plus the one found by Buddy B., means I'll be sending to two. Thanks, guys, very much!

[Buddy B]
