🎖️ 250th Marine Corps Birthday Ball

Hosted by the Central Florida Marine Corps Foundation (CFMCF)

🥂 Celebrate 250 Years of Marine Corps Tradition

The Central Florida Marine Corps Foundation is proud to host the 250th United States Marine Corps Birthday Ball—a spectacular evening commemorating two and a half centuries of honor, courage, and commitment.

Since the Marine Corps was founded on November 10, 1775, Marines have led with pride from the shores of Tripoli to today’s front lines. This year’s theme, “Tun Tavern: Where It All Began,” honors the birthplace of the Corps and the indomitable spirit passed down through generations of Marines.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of:

• Ceremonial traditions
• Camaraderie
• Dinner and dancing
• Recognition of past, present, and future Marines
