Welcome to the Marine Corps Coordinating Council of Greater Charlotte! We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working to:

Serve Marines — particularly those recovering from, and living with serious
injuries
Tell the Marine Corps story
Promote former and retired Marines as principled, professional and
motivated potential employees for the growing Charlotte-area corporate
community.

Our primary efforts focus on the “Semper Fi Challenge Series.” In Charlotte’s active fitness community, we recognized an opportunity to develop our own niche by offering something unique ~ events simulating Marine Corps training. Each of these events incorporates Marine Corps tenets such as teamwork, never leaving a buddy behind, and uniform appearance, and each event benefits a Marine Corps-related nonprofit organization. We focus on organizing great events, and leave it to established, carefully-selected nonprofits to judiciously distribute the proceeds. The response has been impressive, attracting participants from as far away as Florida, Michigan, and New Jersey. We’ve even had Marines in Iraq compete simultaneously with our Marine Buddy Challenge! Click on “Marine Challenge Series” events to learn more about these three events.

On the public relations front, we work to educate the general public and foster Marines as exceptional employees through our quarterly “Lunch with the General” series. The luncheons are open to the public and feature Marine Corps general officers speaking on issues of the day. Presented as a Council public service, the luncheons are not revenue-generating. Click on “Lunch with the General” to register for the next luncheon.

If you’re a Marine (former, retired, active or Reserve) or Marine supporter, we invite you to be a part of our team. Click on “Admin” at the top of this page to become a member or associate member, on the “Volunteer” button to help out at one of our events, the “Donate Now” button to support us financially, or any of the event logos (above, left) to register. We welcome all forms of support!

Semper Fi!!
