The Percy John Fulton Detachment 1075 of the Marine Corp League has donated $1,000 to the Lynne H. Berry School Buddies Fund.  MCL Detachment 1075 also supports Toys For Tots, Wounded Warriors, the Young Marines Program and Veterans Helping Veterans. Proceeds come from the annual North Carolina 5K Mud Run, held each year in Pinnacle, NC.

One hundred percent of the money donated to the School Buddies Fund is used to help students overcome barriers to their educational success by providing clothing, food, school supplies, bus passes, alarm clocks and other items to Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools students in need.
