Mission Statement
Mission
Our mission is to provide financial assistance to meet the specific needs of military families and those affected by cancer.
PS Charities raises funds from both individual gifts and corporate sponsorships. Throughout the year, we host several prominent charity events, including:
The Major Douglas A. Zembiec Memorial Golf Tournament
Doug Zembiec, a highly decorated Marine officer and Naval Academy graduate, was killed while leading a raid on insurgents in Baghdad on May 11, 2007. Zembiec, 34, was awarded the Silver Star posthumously and received a Bronze Star with a V for valor for leading an infantry company in repeated assaults against insurgents in the Battle of Fallujah in 2004.100% of all proceeds for this tournament are donated through the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation to the following scholarships:
*Ramon J. Mendoza, Jr., USMC/Major Douglas A. Zembiec, USMC
*Corporal Elliot Tiesler, USMC
