Ways to give
Give in Jerry’s honor.
Every gift supports scholarships for the children of veterans who died by suicide, given in honor of Jerry Ondo. Funds are received and administered by Semper Fi Mission. Online one-time gifts and team fundraisers open on the same platform that runs registration. Until they are live, call with any question and we will let you know the moment giving opens.

Two ways to give
Give once, or rally a team.
Both go to the same place, the scholarship program in Jerry’s honor. When online giving opens, you can pick whichever fits how you want to show up.
Give once
Make a single gift in Jerry Ondo's honor. Every dollar supports the scholarship program, in his memory.
Start a fundraiser
Rally your unit, your team, or your family. Set a goal and invite others to give in Jerry's memory. Peer-to-peer fundraising opens with the platform.
