The goal of Team Marine Parents™ is to promote an awareness of "Support Our Troops" in communities around the United States through participation in and donations to troop support programs from MarineParents.com.

Currently, Team Marine Parents™ participates in two national events, both of which are held in October of each year. The Bootcamp Challenge at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego and the Marine Corps Marathon and MCM 10K in Washington, DC. Teams set fund-raising goals to support a specific project of MarineParents.com. You may also participate in the events "In Memory" of a fallen Marine or "In Honor" of a Marine.

Individuals or teams are encouraged to participate in the events "In Memory" of fallen Marines or "In Honor" of a Marine.

Team Marine Parents™ t-shirts are provided to each participant. Spectators are strongly encouraged to purchase Team Marine Parents t-shirts for the events and come out in numbers to support our participants. They seem to have just as much fun, if not more! The evening before each event, participants and their special support person attend team bonding meals.
