About the Auxiliary
A sisterhood of service since 1937
Nearly ninety years of standing beside the Corps — supporting Marines, veterans, and the families who love them.
Our Mission
Promoting the interests of the Corps & the welfare of Marines
The Marine Corps League Auxiliary unites the wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and other female relatives of Marines — along with Women Marines — in service to those who serve.
Together we preserve the traditions of the United States Marine Corps, support veterans and their families, and pass a legacy of patriotism and good works to the next generation.
