No Greater Sacrifice (“NGS”) serves to bridge the educational development for the children of our nation’s fallen heroes. Our job is to help finish their work by raising funds to pay for college tuition and graduate degree programs for their children. NGS accomplishes its mission by funding the charities that are already on the ground working on behalf of this noble cause, including:

The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation
The Special Operations Warrior Foundation
And other local charities that support the NGS mission

No Greater Sacrifice Foundation is a District of Columbia not for profit corporation and is recognized as an organization qualified for tax exemption under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All donations will be used solely for the education and support of the children of service members whose lives are lost as a result of service in the global war on terror or future conflicts. The organization is staffed solely by volunteers and does not have any paid employees or professional fund raisers.

As a charity partner of the 33rd annual Marine Corps Marathon, NGS has obtained a limited number of entries for NGS supporters to run amongst the 30,000 participants in the now sold-out event to be held on October 26, 2008 in Alexandria, Virginia.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the NGS Marine Corps Marathon Team (MCMT) please click here. Although registration for the event is closed, NGS has 4 spaces remaining on the team. If you would like to become a corporate sponsor please click here.


Members of the MCMT are asked to raise a minimum of $525 to support the NGS mission and cover the cost of the marathon's registration fee. (Of course, you are encouraged to raise as much as possible.) To ensure one's spot on the MCMT as a late registrant, a $200 deposit is required shortly after being accpeted to the team. The remaining amount is due two weeks following the event, November 7th, 2008.
