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.
