Q. What is The Tun® 1775 Club?

A. The Tun® 1775 Club is a membership club for individuals interested in helping to rebuild The Tun® in Philadelphia. The intent of this fundraising initiative is to create an inexpensive way for large numbers of supporters to make a meaningful contribution toward the construction of The Tun®. Special premium items unique to the 1775 Club include a t-shirt, certificate and coin.

Q. Why is it called the 1775 Club?

A. The “1775” honors the November 10, 1775 birthdate of the Marines.

Q. How does The Tun® 1775 Club work?

A. The Tun® 1775 Club requires that a donor agrees to an automatic and recurring monthly charge of $17.75 to a valid credit card or debit card for a period of 12 consecutive months, totaling $213 over the year.

There is an option to cover your credit card transaction fees. Donors can also opt for a one-time donation of $213.

The 1775 Club Member T-shirt is available in sizes small, medium, large, XL and XXL.
