Thank you to all the Old Grads, parents, and friends who participated in the 2026 Challenge and encouraged others to join! With gifts totaling $6.3 million, every part of West Point will be impacted and the lives of 4,400 cadets! 368 different funds received Margin of Excellence gifts from 15,300 donors. Congratulations to the Class of 1977 who had the highest active class participation and 1997 who had the most donors. The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Crew Team, Men’s Lacrosse Team, and Company I-3 leaned in and took the top spots in our academic, club, athletic, and cadet company leaderboards.
