249th Marine Corps Birthday Ball Sponsorship
Future Sponsors,
The Marine Corps League, Williamson County Detachment #1022, is excited to announce that the 249th Marine Corps Birthday Ball will be held at the Georgetown Community Center on Saturday, November 9th, 2024. Our Detachment is once again looking forward to inviting the local community to join us for this elegant evening rich in military history, tradition, and ceremony.
The Marine Corps League exists to foster camaraderie and fellowship among Marines, FMF Corpsmen, family, and friends of the Corps; to promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy; to voluntarily render aid & assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen, and their families; to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps, and by fitting acts, to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions which hold particular interest to Marines.
In keeping with our tradition of bringing amazing speakers to help us celebrate the Marine Corps Birthday, our Guest of Honor this year is still To Be Determined. (will update once a speaker is decided)
The Marine Corps Birthday Ball serves as a fundraising event for the Williamson County Marine Corps League. All funds that we raise help assist us in our mission of supporting local Marines, FMF Corpsmen, and their families; plus allows us to support other veteran initiatives in line with our mission. Over the past three years the Marine Corps League of Williamson County has been able to:
· Provided $9,000 in scholarships to Williamson County JROTC students, with an additional $3,000 set to be provided this year.
· Supported other projects and organizations such as:
o Marine Corps Toys for Tots campaign.
o Williamson County Brown Santa.
o Williamson County JROTC programs.
o Capital Area Young Marines.
o Georgetown Rotary Field of Honor.
o Marine Military Academy – Harlingen, TX.
o Cam Posey Scholarship
o and many more
It is only with the amazing support of the local community, including local businesses, organizations, and political leaders that we are able to accomplish our mission and enrich the community we serve. The Marine Corps League is once again seeking sponsors for this year’s Marine Corps Birthday Ball; not only to join us in celebration at this unique military event, but also to support us in our mission of serving local Marines, FMF Corpsmen their families, and other veteran causes that make the community a better place for all.
We hope to secure sponsors early this year so that we can recognize and promote their support and patriotism as we are promoting regular ticket sales through radio, print (posters and letters), and online promotions.
