| Press Release 10/22/01 Submitted by Catherine Woods, Public Relations Officer Wildwood Young Marines When a National emergency strikes the Unites States, the Wildwood Young Marines of Cleveland, Ohio, stepped up to the plate and delivered a grand slam. On September 16, 2001 Wildwood Young Marines volunteers, along with representatives from Greater Cleveland Young Marines, participated in the sale of hotdogs, pop, pickles and Young Marine lawn flags at the Brooklyn (Ohio) Wal-Mart raising over $1,500 in one afternoon for the relief fund for New York and Washington. Members were featured on the local 6 o’clock news broadcast and several local radio stations. This is the 3rd fundraiser held this year by Wildwood to benefit their unit, but with the disaster in New York and Washington, WYM decided that victims of these cities needed the funds more. A collective effort is being made by the Young Marines nationwide toward this effort. |
