Pay just $35.00 per payment till your ticket(s) are paid for and you are on your way to our 250^th 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 250^th 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!

• 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.
