The Marine Corps League Detachment 336 Puget Sound is proud to announce the “First Annual Puget Sound Marines Golf Tournament”, scheduled to be held on September 26, 2015 at Willow Run Golf Course, 10402 Willows Rd, Redmond, WA 98052 to benefit veterans. We invite you to be a corporate sponsor for the “Puget Sound Marines Golf Tournament” which is a fundraising event to benefit the Wounded Warrior Regiment, local Marine Support, Seattle Young Marines, Toys for Tots, Leatherneck Honor Guard, General Fund, and local patriotic events. The Marine Corps League is the only Federally Chartered, Marine Corps related veterans organization in the country. The League was organized by then-Commandant John A. Lejeune in 1923. In 1937, Congress nationally chartered the League. It is a not-for-profit organization within the provisions of the Internal Revenue Service Code 501(c) (4), with a special group exemption letter which allows for contributions to the Marine Corps League, its Auxiliary and subsidiary units, to be tax deductible by the donor. The Marine Corps League Detachment 336 Puget Sound is the oldest detachment in Washington State. The United States Marine has honorably defended America’s freedom from the Revolutionary War through the Global War on Terror. The world’s greatest warriors need our support for the price they paid in blood and valor for our freedom. And the youth of our community deserve role models for American ideals and freedom. Join us to in Marines Helping Marines. “We are looking for a Few Good Corporate Citizens”. Marines are known for being “Gung Ho” (working together). Here is your opportunity to be Gung Ho for our Marine Corps veterans by selecting one of the following: Click here see the Marine Corps League Detachment 336 Puget Sound Brochure Golf Tournament Brochure and Corporate Sponsor Application.
