My name is Chandler Guy, and I'm organizing this fundraiser in my personal capacity to help support our unit's 250th Marine Corps Birthday Ball, a once-in-a-generation event that honors two and half centuries of Marine Corps legacy, sacrifice and tradition.

As infantrymen, we have proudly answered the call in some of our nation's most demanding battles and operations:

This year's Ball is especially meaningful as it marks 250 years since the founding of the Marine Corps on November 10, 1775, and it gives us an opportunity to reflect on the enduring spirit of the Marines who have served before us, those who serve today, and those who will join our ranks in the future.

Our goal is to make this celebration worthy of such a historic mission - and accessible to every Marine in our unit. With your help, we will succeed in offsetting the cost of tickets, venue and meals, ensuring that even our most junior Marines can attend without financial hardship. Your support directly contributes to honoring their service and upholding the deep traditions of our Corps.

Whether you're a Marine, a family member, a friend, or simply someone who values what the Marine Corps stands for - we are grateful for your support during this historic year.

Thank you for helping us make our 250th Marine Corps Birthday Ball unforgettable.

Semper Fidelis,

Chandler Guy
