It's fundraiser time, and we're bringing the flavor!

Our Southwest Michigan Young Marines are teaming up with Country Meats to sell some seriously delicious beef sticks. Whether you love something sweet, smoky, savory, or with a little kick, there's a flavor for everyone.

JUST $2 PER STICK!

Even better? Every purchase helps support our Young Marines and the opportunities we provide to our youth. Your support makes a difference, and our Young Marines have the opportunity to earn awards for their individual fundraising efforts!

📅 ORDER DEADLINE: November 2nd at 5:00 PM

💵 Payment is due when placing your order.

📍 Local pickup near Battle Creek, MI. Unfortunately, our unit cannot offer shipping, although individual sellers may choose to make their own shipping arrangements.

HOW TO ORDER:

🇺🇸 Know a Young Marine? Reach out to them directly to place your order. We encourage you to support an individual Young Marine whenever possible so they receive credit toward their fundraising achievements and earn money towards fun events and awards.

🇺🇸 Don't know a Young Marine? No problem! Send our page a message, and we'll be happy to help you place an order. Sales made directly through the unit will be divided among our Young Marines so everyone has an opportunity to benefit.

Payment options: Payment methods are up to the individual seller. If buying through the unit we can accept cash, check, or Venmo. Payment must be made by November 2nd, or your beef sticks will not be ordered.

Small purchase. Big impact.

Whether you purchase a few sticks for yourself, stock up on your favorite flavors, or grab some to share with friends, every order helps support our youth as they continue building leadership, teamwork, discipline, and confidence through the Young Marines program.
