Donations Welcome!

Thank you for considering a donation to the Douglas County Young Marines. The Young Marines is a 501c3 non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Your contribution to the unit will help to insure that we continue to educate and inspire our youth by taking educational trips, purchasing necessary equipment and participating in challenging activities.

In the past, donations have been used for trips such as the dedication of the Marine Corps Museum where the unit had the honor of escorting 5 Navajo Code Talkers (WWII Native American heroes who used their native language to develop the only code that was never broken by the Japanese) and their wives to the event. During the dedication ceremony, the Young Marines met Senator John Glen and many high ranking Marine Corps officers. They were then able to tour the Marine Corps Museum before it was open to the public. It was a trip they will never forget.

In addition to educational trips, available funds are used to reduce the cost of equipment.

If you would like to make a donation, you can mail a check payable to DCYM at the following address:

Douglas County Young Marines
91222 E Ida Drive
Aurora, CO 80015

Or you may make a donation online by clicking on the “Donate” button above left and follow the instructions. If donating online, please be sure to include your email address or mailing address so that we can send you a tax deductible receipt.

I would like to thank you personally for considering a donation to this worthwhile cause, the future of our children.


MGySgt. Jeffrey J. Cooper, USMC (Ret.)
Commanding Officer
