2026 Marine Corps & Air Force Trials

The Dana Point 5th Marine Regiment Support Group (DPSG) is honored to stand behind some truly remarkable warriors as they compete, recover, and inspire at the Wheelchair Rugby Competition. The Marine Corps and Air Force trials will be hosted by the Wounded Warrior Battalion West at Camp Pendleton.

On February 27, from 2:00–7:00 PM, DPSG volunteers will provide two meals and snacks for 150 competing warrior athletes in the Wheelchair Rugby competition, as well as officials—ensuring they have the nourishment, energy, and encouragement they need during this demanding event.

A contribution of $50 per Wounded Warrior does more than provide food—it delivers support, gratitude, and a powerful reminder that our community stands firmly behind these warriors who have sacrificed so much in service to our nation.

Your generosity fuels both body and spirit.
Together, we can make a meaningful difference—one athlete at a time.
