Support the Division
Every gift covers what cadets can't. Travel costs, equipment, training fees — your support makes sure no cadet misses an opportunity because of finances.
Every Gift Matters
The Cruiser Milwaukee Division is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Wisconsin corporation — an official unit of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps, sponsored by the Navy League of the United States, Milwaukee Council.
We've operated for over 15 years with unpaid adult volunteers. No staff salaries. No administrative bloat. Your donation goes directly to the cadets — covering travel expenses, equipment replacement, and training costs that keep every participant in the program regardless of financial circumstance.
Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
