4Th Annual Fallen Marine Memorial Run 3rd Saturday of September 9/19/09 Being sponsored by
Dingbats Royal Gatherings and the Proud to Be an American Benefiting “The Fallen Marine Memorial Run” Our event will be held on the 3rd Saturday of September, same location as last year at Dingbats at the Pittsburgh Mills Mall, due to the kindness and generosity of Ron Sullivan, Proud Owner of Dingbats. Before we begin planning another year, we want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you for whatever roll you played in last year’s event. It is because of all of your direct heartfelt kindness and support that keeps this event touching the lives of the families of the fallen. Our way of letting them know that their marines are not forgotten. We would also like to thank you in advance for your generous donations this year. To our Volunteers…..Thank you for an OUTSTANDING job. Without you, none of this would be possible. The dedication and organization this past year was absolutely incredible and we can’t thank you all enough. As you all know, we count on people like you to make this incredible event as successful as it was. We hope to be able to count on all of you again this year on the 3rd Saturday of September the 19, 2009. To sign up to volunteer please email us at

To our Recipients, both past and future, let us first take a moment to thank you for your sacrifice….If you or a friend has lost a loved one, or if you have a marine that was wounded defending our freedom, please send us an email and tell us about your marine. We have met so many families over the years and it is so overwhelmingly sad and yet uplifting. It is a hardcore reminder that our freedom is not free and that we should never take advantage of what these men and women have sacrificed for us. We all lay our heads down at night in a free country at peace because of the men and women who choose to stand watch. Their promise is to keep us safe, in a united country, free from terrorism, until their dying day. We will never forget the sacrifices of these men and women. Please contact us at

To our Sponsors and Donors….We know the economy is not in the greatest of places right now and trust me we all feel the strain together. But we would like to ask you to take a moment to remember the men and women who have paid the ultimate price in defending our freedom. These men and women put their lives in danger everyday and some even pay the ultimate price, all to protect us. These marines aren’t there because someone told them they have to, they just recognize that it’s a job that has to be done and someone has to do it. They fight every day for us, random strangers they’ve never even met. It is a bond, a brotherhood that most of us cannot understand. We just ask that you keep our marines in mind every chance you can, but especially when you are making your donations to the run. Remember, regardless of the stock market or housing market, regardless of the price of gas, our marines remain in foreign countries, sleepless nights, defending our freedom until they have achieved what they set out to do. Going to war is not a decision we all as individuals make, but it is our freedom that it defends, try not to forget that. Please remember our United States Marines, the fallen, the wounded, and the active, we are their reason, they are our hero’s. May God Bless each and every one of them and the families that stand behind you. To make a donation please follow the link on the site. We would also like to thank Heartland Homes, Inc. for their generosity as well as The Rodfathers of Butler, Teamster Horsemen, Bud Light, Waste Management, Printworx, Gnc and countless others who helped in some way. We thank you all and look forward to working with all of you this year. We are very excited about the event this year and pray for another wonderful turnout! We are proud to be partnered again this year with Ron Sullivan, owner of Dingbats. Ron, we just can’t thank you enough for your generosity, you played such a significant role in our success last year and we all thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we look forward to a successful 2009. We are looking for entertainment for Saturday September 19. Anyone who is interested in helping us touch the lives of the families of our fallen and wounded marines should contact us at
