Recon Raider Remembrance Ride
2023-09-09 - 2023-09-10
Marines from the Force Reconnaissance and Raider community and others will honor the 201 who have fallen in service to our nation through a motorcycle ride from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune to Arlington National Cemetery and back to Camp Lejeune. The mission is designed to raise maximum awareness of the sacrifices of those killed in action or in training and raise funds to support charities who assist the community, its families and survivors.
The Recon Raider Remembrance Ride will be a convoy style operation conducted by veterans. Each participating motorcycle will represent a fallen Marine Raider or Reconnaissance Marine. Along the journey, riders will pass through communities where some surviving family members reside to honor the fallen and pay respects to Gold Star families who shared in the sacrifice of our national defense.
The event is presented by Asymmetric Solutions, a global leader in private special operations capabilities. Its team is comprised of combat-decorated, highly reputable members of various special operations units, elite government agencies and seasoned special operations law enforcement officers. Collectively, the team has executed hundreds of combat deployments globally and supported countless stateside operations in support of law enforcement and government agencies nationwide.
Sponsorships and volunteer opportunities are available.

History of the Seaside Semper Five
The Seaside Semper Five originated in 2014 to benefit the Marine Raider Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that supports Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Marines and Sailors, World War II Marine Raiders, and Marine Raider Families, including Marine Raiders who are wounded, ill and injured, and Marine Raider Families whose Marine or Sailor made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our Nation. Race Director Frank Costello, who has also been a member of the Marine Raider Foundation’s Marine Corps Marathon Charity Partner Team every year since 2013, wanted to use the race as his fundraising campaign to earn a slot for the marathon. He reached out to family and friends in his close-knit community, and the Seaside Semper Five was born!
Over the past ten years, participants from all over the world (27 states and 4 US Embassies) have made the Seaside Semper Five one of the largest 5K/1M events in New Jersey, empowering the Marine Raider Foundation to provide our Nation’s heroes with support for needs unmet by the government and other agencies. Since 2014, the event has raised over $375,000! Sign up today, commit to #Run4Raiders, and be a part of “Helping those who have sacrificed the most.”

Mission2Alpha 2024 Bataan Memorial Death March Team
2024-03-16 | White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, WSMR P Rt 1, White Sands Missile Range, NM, 88002, United States
Join Mission2Alpha in #Running4Raiders in the 2024 Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico on March 16th! Run as an individual or build a team of five – run the heavy with a 35-pound ruck or light without a ruck! Choose from the marathon distance (26.2 miles) or the Honorary March (14.2 miles). All team members will be asked to fundraise – we will have some great fundraising incentives and fun contests! Learn more and register for the race by visiting https://bataanmarch.com/
Can’t get to New Mexico to race in person? Join our team and create your own route as a virtual team member – details on how to get started can be found here: https://bataanmarch.com/virtualbag/

What is the Bataan DeathMarch?

The Army ROTC Department at New Mexico State University began sponsoring the Bataan Memorial Death March in 1989. The memorial march was to mark a page in history that included many native sons and affected many families in the state. In 1992, White Sands Missile Range and the New Mexico National Guard joined in the sponsorship and the event was moved to the White Sands Missile Range.
Since its inception, the Bataan Memorial Death March’s participation has grown from about 100 to about 9,600 marchers. These marchers come from across the United States and several foreign countries. While still primarily a military event, many civilians choose to participate in the challenging march. Participants get to choose between two courses: a 14.2-mile and a 26.2-mile course.
Marchers participate in the Bataan Memorial Death March for many reasons: personal challenge, the spirit of competition, or to foster esprit de corps in their unit. Some march in honor of a family member or a particular veteran who was in the Bataan Death March or who was taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese in the Philippines.

Why this event?

This event is not only unique, but this challenge has a category for everyone! You can do the full 26.2 mile marathon route, the 14.2 mile Honorary March, either with a weighted with a ruck or without!

How will we train?

We will issue a training plan to all team members which will be available by the first week of January. We will also be sponsoring hikes throughout the valley with varying levels of difficulty and distance.

How Do I Register?

1. Step One: Follow the link to the Bataan Death March event – https://bataanmarch.com/register/

This summer will mark six years of fundraising through golf to help to make a difference in the lives of deserving Marine Raiders and their families. Last year our tournament contributed to the over $830,000 in donor dollars spent across the Marine Raider Foundation’s four mission programs: Raider Support, Tragedy Assistance & Survivor Support, Family Resiliency Support, and Legacy Preservation Support. This year, we are hoping to increase our fundraising contributions so we can assist even more active-duty and medically retired MARSOC Raiders and their families, as well as the families of MARSOC Raiders who have lost their lives in service to our Nation.
The Marine Raider Foundation aims to meet the needs unmet by the government with an emphasis on building personal and family resiliency and supporting the full reintegration of MARSOC Raiders following wounds, injuries, and extended deployments. We are a 501c3 that has been rated a 4-star charity with Charity Navigator and we have earned Platinum status – the highest nonprofit ranking – via Candid (formerly Foundation Center and GuideStar).
Don’t miss out – join us on Friday, June 28th for our 2024 Raider Invasion.

Heritage Distilling Company Salute Battle of Iwo Jima 80th Anniversary Limited Edition Whiskey
2025-01-18 - 2025-03-15
Heritage Distilling Company, Inc., a leading craft distiller of innovative premium brands, is proud to unveil its latest tribute in the Salute Series: the “Battle of Iwo Jima: 80th Anniversary Edition” in partnership with the Marine Raider Foundation (MRF). This exclusive release commemorates the 1945 battle wherein more than 25,000 Marines were wounded and 6,140 gave the ultimate sacrifice in one of World War II’s most historic battles.
“The Battle of Iwo Jima is a defining chapter in our nation’s history, and this year marks the 80th anniversary of that battle,” said Sara Kellerman, military veteran, co-founder and Vice President of Heritage Distilling Company’s Salute Series line of spirits. “With this release, we aim to honor the enduring legacy of the Marines while giving back to the Marine Raider Foundation, which continues to support those who have served. Since the launch of our first product under the Salute Series banner just over one year ago, we have raised nearly $190,000 for donations to our military charity partners. We are eager to add to that impressive tally with this newest edition.”
The limited-edition whiskey label hints at the iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning image of the American flag on Mount Suribachi, a symbol of American resilience and determination, while focusing on the intensity of the warriors who were on the ground executing the mission. Kellerman commented, “This ‘Iwo Jima: 80th Anniversary Edition’ is more than a whiskey; it’s a tribute to the resilience and spirit of America’s heroes, where uncommon valor was common.”
Exclusive features of the “Iwo Jima: 80th Anniversary Edition” include:

Bottled at “Howitzer strength,” this 105-proof straight bourbon whiskey has been aged for 5 years, offering a bold and robust flavor profile.
Only 2,200 bottles were made, priced at $95 each.
The label features exclusive art by Michael Solovey, whose work helps bring the Salute Series to life.
The design reflects the black volcanic ash that covers Iwo Jima, tying the whiskey to the battle’s historical context.
Customers who purchase two bottles will receive a frameable lithograph by Michael Solovey titled “GUNG HO”, inspired by the iconic flag-raising and designed to honor the Marine Corps’ enduring spirit.
10% of gross profits from the Iwo Jima Edition will benefit the Marine Raider Foundation.

Marine Raiders, the Marine Corps’ original elite Special Operations unit, played a key role in early Pacific campaigns, and many Raiders later served in the Battle of Iwo Jima after their regiment was restructured in 1944. The partnership with the Marine Raider Foundation holds deep personal significance for the Heritage team. Charles H. Meacham, who entered the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II at the age of 17, was selected for the Marine Raiders after graduating from basic training and completing the Marines’ “Special Operations” selection and training process. Charles’s son, Chuck Meacham, is a longtime Heritage stockholder and supporter and has been a dedicated board member of the MRF for several years. “Just as with our previous labels under the Salute Series, we look for ways to create more meaningful and deeper ties to the people we seek to honor, and being able to honor the service and sacrifice of specific veterans like Charles H. Meacham makes this extra special for our entire team,” noted Sara Kellerman.
“The Marine Raider Foundation is honored to partner with Heritage Distilling Company for this meaningful tribute to the Battle of Iwo Jima as we approach the 80th anniversary of that battle which helped cement the enduring legacy of the Marine Corps into the minds of all Americans,” said Jessica McAndrews, CEO of the Marine Raider Foundation. “Since 2012, the Foundation has raised over $7 million to support MARSOC Raiders, their families, and the families of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This partnership helps us continue our mission of addressing unmet needs, building resiliency, and preserving the legacy of Raiders, past and present. Together, we ensure that the sacrifices of these brave warriors are never forgotten.”
The whiskey’s label prominently notes Heritage’s partnership with the Marine Raider Foundation, and a QR code links to a custom HDC order page for additional donations.
