There are plenty of opportunities for you to get involved and/or hang out with fellow Marines.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congratulations to the recipient of the Sgt Johnny Robertson Scholarship, Ms Jordan Jones. Since our next meeting will be just days before school starts, we invited Jordan and her mom to attend a small meet and greet with our Detachment Commandant, Scholarship Committee, along with Sgt Johnny Robertson's wife Linda Robertson and their two daughters.

The Detachment Commandant presented Jordan with a "big check" in the amount of the Scholarship. Jordan will be attending the University of Oklahoma this fall for nursing, and aspires to become a Neonatal Nurse. We wish Jordan the best of luck in the pursuit of here educational goals. 

Through our scholarship program this year we were able to award two $1500 scholarships, plus we donate $500 to the Marine Corps League, Department of Texas, Cam Posey scholarship fund. Unfortunately we had no applicants for our third third scholarship. 

Our ability to support the educational aspirations of Marines, Corpsmen, and/or their family members is thanks to the contributions of our generous contributors. If you would like to support the Marine Corps League, LCpl Jacob D Hayes Scholarship program, you can donate directly to the fund.

246TH MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY BALL

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!

We look forward to being able to share this Marine Corps tradition again after having to cancel last year.  Again we are inviting the local community to join us for this elegant evening of rich military history, tradition, and ceremony. 

The Marine Corps Birthday Ball is our biggest event of the year and serves the purpose of carrying on history and tradition. The Ball also serves as a major fundraising event for the Collin County Marine Corps League.  Funds raised through this event assist us in our mission of supporting local Marines, FMF Corpsmen, and their families.  It also allows us to support other veteran initiatives that are in line with our mission.  For far this year the Marine Corps League of Collin County has provided financial assistance to several Marines, supported the Homeless Veterans Services of Dallas, donated to erecting the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in Frisco, and awarded scholarships to local students. Funds raised by the detachment also helped support our Toys For Tots campaign, that provided a Christmas to over 21,000 children in Collin County this past season during the pandemic.  

​

We are currently seeking sponsors.  Categories are already selling out. For more information about the Marine Corps League, the Marine Corps Birthday Ball or sponsoring this unique event and supporting Marines, FMF Corpsmen, their families plus other veteran initiatives please contact Noe DeLeon.
