Dear Community Supporters,

The George Dilboy Post 529’s Annual Marine Corps Birthday Celebration, will be held on November 10, 2017, all veterans are invited and encouraged to attend. This year marks the 242nd anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. For the past 20 years, members gather each year to honor those that served and continue to serve our country by providing toys for disadvantaged children.

Last year we were able to provide needed financial support to the United States Marine Corps Toy for Tots program which helps needy children, thanks to the support of local donors and businesses.

This year we seek community assistance to continue this financial support in the form of money, gift certificates or other raffle items. All gifts are tax-deductible. Please make checks payable to the George Dilboy Post 529 c/o Toys for Tots, or call 617-666-8794 and we will make arrangements for a club officer to pick up the donation if it is more convenient.

Respectfully submitted,

Mark Killoren
Chairman and former Marine
P.S. Please do not send cash
