Friends of Port Chicago

Learn more about our park partner, Friends of Port Chicago, to keep the story alive of the men who sacrificed their lives and of the men who survived the 1944 explosion.

The Friends of Port Chicago National Memorial is a registered non-profit and the official fundraising partner of the National Park Service, created to help support and enhance the Port Chicago National Monument in 2007. Friends of Port Chicago was successful in advocating for designation of Port Chicago as a national memorial and now it’s mission is to promote the history of Port Chicago, support the growth of the park and inform the visitor experience through virtual and real-time experiences and education.
