READY TO
While the Academy’s core academic, military, and physical development programs receive federal support, many valuable programs and opportunities fall outside of this core designation and require private funding. Therefore, the generosity of our graduates, parents, surviving spouses, and friends plays a pivotal role in supporting the Margin of Excellence and enriching the West Point experience—from cadet clubs, athletic teams, and training facilities to academic centers, cadet research projects, and travel abroad opportunities. Each and every gift helps to ensure continued excellence for our cadets.
Your generosity will advance the West Point experience and demonstrate the steadfast commitment amongst our graduates and friends, who are always ready to support this treasured institution. Cadets and graduates will always share an unwavering commitment to service—a desire to contribute to something larger than themselves. West Point Ready is an opportunity to do just this and to honor West Point’s legacy of service.
I feel indebted to West Point for the lifelong friends I made and the positively memorable adventures I shared with them. The Academy experience was an integral part of my personal life and professional career. Looking back, I have come to appreciate how fundamental the four years were to stimulating my intellect, expanding my world view, and developing my character. I am inspired to give back to West Point to help it continue on its inimitable and successful mission of developing the next generation of leaders while strengthening the Long Gray Line.
