NOW TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PURCHASE TICKETS, WE OFFER A PAYMENT PLAN!
That’s right, you can pay for your tickets with two easy payments per ticket!
Pay just $35.00 per payment till your ticket(s) are paid for and you are on your way to our 250th Marine Corps Birthday Ball!!! (Must be paid in full prior to the Ball)

Last Year’s Ball sold out a month early, and with this being the 250th Anniversary of the Marine Corps Birthday, we expect that it will again this year!  That’s why we have started selling tickets earlier this year, and we are even offering a payment plan option!

We will commemorate our rich heritage with a formal evening that includes:

  • Happy Hour: Featuring complimentary beer and wine.
  • Ceremonial Cake Cutting: Honoring our oldest and youngest Marines.
  • Dinner: Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner shared with comrades and friends.
  • Awards and Recognition: Celebrating the achievements of our fellow Marines and Associate Members.
  • Dancing: Dance the night away to great music and entertainment.
  • Dress to impress and join us for an evening of reflection, pride, and festivity. Your presence will contribute to the spirit of unity and honor that defines the Marine Corps.

Secure your tickets* early to ensure you are part of this memorable evening. We look forward to celebrating with you and honoring the legacy of the Marine Corps.
