Marine Corps Birthday Ball
CREED is assisting the Marine Corps by sponsoring their annual birthday ball held in Tampa, Florida, Saturday November 19th. We are very excited about this. We will also be sponsoring an annual scholarship, the Andrew J. Aviles Award which will be awarded to a member of the Marine Corps who is pursuing a degree from a college or university. CREED is accepting donations for the funding of this award; below is a little background on this award:
Lance Corporal Andrew J. Aviles was mobilized with H&S Company for Operation Enduring Freedom and subsequently served with the First Marine Division during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was killed in action on 7 April 2003 when his AAV was struck by Iraqi artillery. Andrew was an outstanding scholar, graduating third in his high school class, he won a full academic scholarship to the University of Southern Florida. Andrew delayed entry to college to first join the Marine Corps Reserves and serve his country.
Our mission will be to assist the 4th Assault Annphibian Battalion, 4th Marine Division, To honor and pay tribute to the memory of Lance Corporal Andrew J. Aviles by selecting a deserving Marine from the Company to receive the annual Andrew J. Aviles Award and Scholarship.
We are thrilled to help the Marine Corps of the United States of America. CREED received a kind Letter of Appreciation from the Marine Crops for our help - we are happy to help in anyway.
For all who have donated to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball we all say,
Thank you for your service and sacrifice!
