New York Leatherneck Campaign

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is the nation’s oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarships to military children, founded by Gen Martin F. Rockmore USMC (Ret) at the very first Leatherneck Ball in 1962.

As a valued investor in the New York Leatherneck Campaign, we invite you to be our complimentary guests at this year’s 64th New York Leatherneck Campaign Ball, to be held on Thursday, April 30, 2026.

We are proud to honor Eric Gleacher with this year’s Semper Fidelis Award. As an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and former Marine infantry officer, Eric has demonstrated the unwavering dedication and ethical leadership that embody the Marine Corps motto, ‘Always Faithful,’ through decades of selfless service that have made a lasting impact on our society.
