The instructions listed below will assist you in completing the ROOFING EVENT NOMINATION FORM. 

Anyone can nominate a qualified, deserving, Marine Veteran for this event.  Many truly deserving Marine Veterans will not ask for help.  Sometimes we need to be the ones to facilitate assitance.  If you know a Marine Veteran who is truly in need of a new roof and meets the criteria, send the nomination.

Although you may want to nominate a qualified Marine Veteran anonymously, we would prefer to know who you are so we can let you know whether your nominee was selected.   The information we are asking for is your:

1.  Name

2.  Address

3.  Phone Number

This will allow us to “Keep you in the Loop” regarding your nominee.

Your nominee must be an Honorably Discharged Marine Corps Veteran.  General Discharges Under Honorable Conditions will not be accepted for this event.  Self-nominations will be accepted for this event.  If you know that you fit the criteria of the event feel free to nominate yourself.

The information we MUST HAVE about your nomineee is:

1.  Name

Also, the value of a written justification statement and photos of the front of the home cannot be stressed enough.  Be DETAILED and HONEST in your justification and take good photos.  Give your nominee or yourself every advantage to be selected.
