Unit Fundraising
 The Young Marines is a non-profit organization. Some funding for operations trickles from local Marine Corps and Marine Corps friendly organizations; however, that only covers basic operation costs. Anything beyond basic costs (field trips, in-need Young Marines or YM units, uniforms, etc.) are all funded through various fundraising events. Bake/food sales, car washes, and raffles are some of the ways the Young Marines have raised funds for their activities. We are looking for PARENT support in these events. Please check the calendar for upcoming events and feel free to ask the Fundraising UC Coordinator(s).
Contact via email fundraiser{at}lcym.org if you have any questions about any fundraisers.

Hair Cut Fundraiser
 One of our recruit parents cuts hair at a local Vancouver salon and has offered a great fundraiser for our unit. Purchase a card from Mrs. Davidson or Ms. Lewis and 100% of that purchase goes back to the unit. Cost is $10 (males) or $12 (females). What a great offer from one of our families and a great way to support the unit.
See if any of your friends or family are interested in purchasing a hair cut as well!

Recycling of Cans and Bottles
 Help the unit by collecting aluminum cans, glass bottles with deposits and plastic pop bottles. This is an easy way for us to earn money. Ask your neighbors, friends and family to support the unit by spreading the word and collecting cans. You may begin bringing the bottles and cans to our next drill. This will be an ongoing fundraiser for our unit.

Holiday Wreath Fundraiser
 Christmas Wreath Fundraiser
It's getting to feel a lot like winter. Our winter optional fundraiser will be a wreath fundraiser. Last year this was a GREAT fundraiser.
This year you will again be able to sell wreaths two different ways:
#1 -- You can sell sponsorships for "Wreaths Across America". This is a program that places wreaths at all National Cemeteries across the U.S. Our National Cemetery is Willamette National. We will also have an opportunity to go and actually place wreaths on Saturday, December 11, 2010 as a unit.
#2 -- You can sell wreaths, swags and garland to friends, neighbors, and family members. These greenery are extremely fresh. One of our YM families kept their wreath up until March and it was still extremely fresh and great smelling.
Selling materials will be distributed at drill on Saturday, 10/2/10. Final wreath sales must be turned in at drill on Saturday, 11/13/10. Final Wreaths Across America monies and sponsorships are due by 11/29/10.
DELIVERY of wreaths to the YMs will take place at Wednesday Study Night on 12/1/10.
If you have any questions, please contact your parent fundraiser UC chairmen which are Ms. Peggy Schultz 503-314-6810 or Ms. Merilee Miller 360-450-1752.
