The Military Spouse Association of Camp Pendleton (MSACP) is a non-profit, all-volunteer, service organization, committed to helping our military families and surrounding communities. We are planning our 2024 fundraiser and want to personally invite you to join us! Our 24th Annual Margaritaville Benefit & Auction will take place on March 16, 2024 at Pacific Views Event Center, located aboard Camp Pendleton at 202850, San Jacinto Rd, Oceanside, CA 92058. Margaritaville is a live and silent auction and includes live entertainment, dinner, and opportunity giveaways. This event is attended by over 200 Senior Leadership, Marines, Sailors, their significant others and families, and local business leaders. Each year, the MSACP raises funds to provide college scholarships for military dependents stationed aboard or living near Camp Pendleton. The MSACP also awards Community Enrichment Grants to local organizations and projects that support our military families. Organizations include Semper Fi Fund, Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego, Dogs on Deployment, United through Reading, and more. All proceeds from the Benefit & Auction directly fund these efforts. The Benefit & Auction has been widely successful through generous sponsorships and donations by people and organizations such as you! We were thrilled to award over $190,000 in scholarships and grants over the last 3 years! We hope to see you there.
