AURORA DIVISION SPONSORS
Please join us in thanking the following for their kind contributions to the
Aurora Division. Their support allows us to provide a cost-effective program
with unparalleled opportunities to our cadets. The Aurora Division would have
capsized long ago without this help. As they say in the Navy, BRAVO ZULU to our
sponsors.
The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps
Aurora Division is "...exempt from federal income tax under section 501(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in section
501(c)(3). ... Donors may deduct contributions to you as provided in section 170
of the code." (excerpts from our IRS Letter of Determination, which is
available upon request)
Please contact Commanding Officer
LT(jg) Catheine Cabe if you are able to help
us. General contributions are always welcome, but if you would like to sponsor

|
BDUs (40 sets @ $20 [incl. tapes & flashes]):

allowing the division to interact with cadets from around the region but in
