Gator 990 Marine Corps Birthday Ball (14 Nov 2026)

Sat, 14 Nov 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Join us at the Best Western Gateway Grand on Saturday, November 14, 2026 for the annual Gator 990 Marine Corps Birthday Ball.

This event will celebrate 251 years of the United States Marine Corps and recognize 250 years of independence as the United States of America.

While this is a celebration by Marines, for Marines, we invite all patriots in our community to help us celebrate and see how the Marines, young and old, revere the legacy of our Corps.

The event will begin with a reception from 5pm to 6pm where you will find appetizers and two cash bars. The ballroom will open at 6pm where you will enjoy a traditional ceremony followed by a full service plated meal of your choice (beef, fish, chicken or vegetarian.) We will also have dessert tables.

After dinner will be live entertainment and dancing, and a raffle for some very nice prizes.

How can you help? Sponsorships are available for $1,000, $500 and $250 (tax deductible as we have an IRS 501(c)(3) exemption.)

We can also accept high quality gifts donated for our raffle.

Gator Detachment 990 of the Marine Corps League is a not-for-profit veteran service organization that serves the communities in Alachua County and surrounding areas. Thank you for your support.
