Memorial Reef Program Honored 10 veterans through public memorial reef ceremonies at sea. Ceremonies brought together families, veterans, volunteers, sponsors, and community members to preserve each veterans legacy. Memorial reef structures also contribute to marine habitat restoration and environmental conservation. 2. No Veteran Left Behind Initiative Ensured that financial hardship did not prevent a veteran from receiving a memorial. In 2024, Veterans Memorial Reef secured corporate sponsorships to help offset the memorial costs for Billy Turner, a veteran associated with the Battle of Ia Drang, when his family was unable to pay the full expense. This initiative reflects the organizations commitment that no eligible veteran is denied a dignified memorial because of financial circumstances. 3. Educational Scholarship Program Awarded two $250 scholarships ($500 total) to eligible veteran students or veteran dependents attending UNCW and Cape Fear Community College. Scholarships support students pursuing marine biology, marine technology, and related marine science fields, helping educate the next generation of environmental stewards. 57953 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 0 false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false true false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X Thomas Marcinowski 9105479277 1519 Sapphire Ridge Rd Wilmington NC 28409 X Thomas Marcinowski CEO 30.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Irrera Board Member 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cristopher DeHart Board Member 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 332 332 Pre-paid Plans 541900 37520 37520 Donations 541900 33939 33939 71459 4582 4582 4582 4582 332 0 Merchandise Sales 541900 1012 1012 1012 77385 76041 0 1012 1250 1250 1100 1100 1013 1013 2790 2790 4291 4291 5623 5623 2236 2236 1644 1644 17665 17665 4971 4971 Meals 275 275 Unauthorized Expenses 9672 9672 Memorial Launch Expenses 26646 26646 Vehicle Expenses 3021 3021 11292 -11292 82197 57953 21454 2790 20417 18579 6001 999 5129 31547 19578 1866 960 10539 6492 12405 7452 X 19142 12126 19142 12126 31547 19578 -4812 -2204 0 X false false false X 71790 71790 1012 1012 72802 72802 0 0 0 0 0 0 72802 6291 6291 0 0 0 0 79093 79093 0.92050 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X Amended return information Return is being amended to include previously missed income and expenses and to more accurately report Program Services income and expenses.
