The True North Foundation was honored to attend the 64th Annual Leatherneck Ball last week in New York City.

The event raised more than $1.7 million to support the education of children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen. It was an incredible evening filled with purpose, generosity, and celebration.

We are proud to partner with such an outstanding organization and support its meaningful mission.

On Monday, the True North Foundation was proud to serve as a Tarawa sponsor at the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s Tampa Bay Golf Tournament.

Tampa Bay’s strong military presence was evident throughout the event, with an incredible turnout of veteran advocates, supporters, and members of the military community. The day featured golf, networking, and both live and silent auctions—all in support of a meaningful mission.

As our first charity golf tournament, we were honored to participate alongside our partner, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, which supports military families by providing educational opportunities to the children of those who have served.

We’re grateful to be part of such a dedicated community and look forward to continuing our support.

Last week, the True North Foundation was proud to sponsor another incredible Meet the Fellows event with Dog Tag.

The evening brought together current fellows sharing their stories and business ideas, alumni offering insights from their fellowship experience, and supporters highlighting the powerful impact Dog Tag has on veterans, military spouses, and caregivers transitioning into meaningful careers. It was also a great opportunity for new faces to connect, network, and engage with the mission.

At True North, we’re honored to partner with Dog Tag and support their work equipping the military community with the tools, education, and support needed to build resilience, rediscover purpose, and create lasting community beyond service.

Last week, the True North Foundation had the opportunity to volunteer at the annual MVP Dallas Clay Shoot hosted by Merging Vets and Players. It was a fun day filled with clay shooting, camaraderie, impact, and support for the veteran community.

Now in its third year, this event has become a great way to connect and get involved with the veteran community. This year featured over 70 shooters, with many teams including a veteran or former professional athlete as part of their shooting team during the tournament.

After the competition, participants enjoyed lunch together and took part in a raffle with incredible prizes, including hunting expeditions, Blackstone grills, and even spa day packages.
