GREAT CLASS CHALLENGE

 
 

From 6-10 May, the Great Class Challenge is back, and you’ll have the chance to support the Naval Academy while you compete to prove your class is the greatest! Last year, you once again broke records – 6,314 donors raised over $2.3 million during the Challenge! To rise to the top of the rankings and show that your class is the greatest, make your gift online at navalacademychallenge.com once the challenge kicks off on 6 May. Will the Class of 1984 repeat as dual champions again this year with the best participation rate and highest number of donors? Or will another Class take the crown in one of those categories? Make your gift and follow the leaderboards to monitor which classes take the top spots!

 
 

EVERY DONOR MATTERS, EVERY GIFT COUNTS

 
 

With profound gratitude to our generous donors within the Naval Academy community—alumni, parents, friends, and organizations—we extend our heartfelt appreciation. Each contribution ignites a transformative journey for our midshipmen, elevating Naval power and American leadership. Your support is the cornerstone of our shared success. Thank you for your invaluable investment.

Be on the lookout—the next edition of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation Donor Report will arrive in May! We look forward to recognizing our 2023 donors in this upcoming report. You can make your 2024 calendar year gift at usna.com/give.
