3/1 MARINES CAR WASH - 19 SEPTEMBER 2009

3/1 MARINES CAR WASH - 19 SEPTEMBER 2009

On Saturday, 19 September 2009, the Marines of 3/1 (3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division) with the assistance of the Huntington Beach adoption committee (3/1 Marines Foundation) returned to conduct another successful car wash, raising funds to make the battalion's 2009 Birthday Ball more affordable for young Marines & Sailors.

The Huntington Beach community adopted the battalion in 2005, and since then has supported the battalion in a number of ways, including fund raising events to support Marines/Sailors of the unit, and their families, especially while the battalion is deployed.

The citizens of Huntington Beach and the surrounding area turned out as before to generously support the fund raiser by donating money for car washes, purchases of refreshments, T shirts, etc., from the volunteers manned by local citizens in support of the 3/1 Foundation.

This was truly a community event with outstanding support coming from: Bella Terra, Simple Green, Huntington Beach Public Works, Beef Palace, Huntington Beach Municipal Employees Association, HB Digital Arts, California Pizza Kitchen, Islands Restaurant, Daphne's Greek Cafe, Peet's Coffee & Tea, Huntington Surf & Sport (HSS), King's Fish House, Halloween Express and Upper Deck, all of whom donated very generously to this event

Those interested in participating further in support of 3/1 should contact Cindy Cross, Executive Director of the 3/1 Foundation, at 714 375-3131, or by email: HB4Marines@aol.com
