The Premier Marine Corps Birthday Ball in Texas

​

The Collin County Marine Corps Birthday Ball has earned recognition as the premier Marine Corps Ball in Texas, likened to the prestigious Commandant’s Ball in Washington, D.C. This year, we are elevating the experience with special additions to make the event even more memorable.

​

A Celebration with Purpose

​

More than just a gala, the Collin County Marine Corps Birthday Ball is an opportunity to honor Marine Corps history and traditions while supporting a greater cause. Your sponsorship will directly contribute to our mission in North Texas, funding vital initiatives such as:

• Veterans & Their Families – Providing essential assistance, fostering community, and distributing over $25,000 in financial aid in recent years.

• Scholarship Program – Empowering future leaders with over $29,000 in scholarships for veterans, their children, and Junior ROTC cadets.

• Toys for Tots – In 2024 alone, over 102,000 toys were collected, sorted, and distributed to less fortunate children through our community partners.

• Veteran Initiatives – Supporting programs such as the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument, Homeless Veterans Services of Dallas, Fallen Warriors Portrait Project, Save The Brave, Woody Williams Foundation, Collin County Children’s Advocacy Center, One Tribe Foundation’s W.A.T.C.H. Program, and many more—contributing over $27,000 in donations.
