Beretta supported the fifth annual NorCal Marine Raider Foundation Fundraiser, which took place on September 20 in Los Altos Hills, Calif., by donating a one-of-a-kind, unreleased commemorative shotgun for the event’s auction. The special-edition A300 Ultima Patrol Raider pays tribute to the United States Marine Corps and made its public debut at the fundraiser before its official launch scheduled for later this year. Designed to honor the Raider legacy and raise critical funds for Marine Raiders and their families, this exclusive shotgun represents both battlefield heritage and modern performance.
“It is an honor for Beretta to contribute to this important cause and pay tribute to the enduring spirit of the Marine Raiders,” said Caleb McMillen, Beretta USA senior product manager for long guns and ammunition. “The Raider Commemorative Edition was created to embody honor, courage, and commitment, and we are proud that its first appearance will help support those who carry on that legacy.”
The Marine Raider Foundation provides vital support to active duty and medically retired Marine Raiders and their families, World War II Marine Raiders, and the families of Raiders who have lost their lives in service to our Nation. The organization was established in 2012 and aims to meet needs unmet by the government with an emphasis on building personal and family resiliency and supporting the full reintegration of wounded, ill, injured and transitioning Raiders, their families and MARSOC’s Gold Star families.
“Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps is a profound moment for all of us,” said Jessica McAndrews, Marine Raider Foundation CEO. “With the support of partners like Beretta USA, we will continue to make a difference in the lives of our Marine Raiders, their families and our Gold Star Families. Together, we are ensuring that their sacrifices are recognized and honored.”
