shipmate fund supports coast guard members<br />
and their families<br />
The Coast Guard Foundation built a $15,000 basketball court at Station Thomas Point, Maryland so the crew<br />
and families stationed there would have a safe place to play and enjoy outdoor fitness activities.<br />
Supporting margin-of-excellence programs that benefit the men<br />
and women on the front lines of the Coast Guard helps ensure these dedicated individuals have<br />
opportunities for education, health and wellness activities off duty, so they can excel on duty.<br />
In cooperation with the Vice Commandant of the Coast Guard, the Foundation identifies a needs list to make our donations<br />
as effective as possible. These Shipmate Fund projects may be something as simple as a set of mountain bikes donated to a<br />
station in Hawaii, or something more technical like computer software for a cutter crew to learn critical foreign languages<br />
so they can better perform their duties.<br />
One of the most common ways the Coast Guard Foundation supports active duty personnel is by purchasing fitness equipment<br />
for units, bases and stations around the country that is not included in the federal operating budget.<br />
