Support Marco’s Mission

Your donation supports Marco’s Mission — a youth-based nonprofit project. At Marco’s Mission, we’re dedicated to bringing expert speakers to high school campuses so teens can learn more about the dangers of drug usage. Additionally, we plan use donations to donate to other charities working in this field, to promote drug awareness. All donations will go through the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation, and further to Marco’s Mission.
