As the Great Class Challenge comes to a close, we want to pause and say a sincere thank you to the alumni, friends and parents who stepped up to give and to the volunteers who rallied their classmates. Because of your time, energy, and leadership, 80 classes showed what participation, pride, and teamwork really look like. Every email sent, text shared and conversation started made a difference — and every gift, of any size, helped move classes up the leaderboard and support today’s Midshipmen. Our results are still being finalized, but one thing is already clear: this year’s Challenge was powered by extraordinary volunteer leadership and generous alumni participation. Final standings and official results will be shared soon. On behalf of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation, thank you for all you did to make this year’s Great Class Challenge such a success. We are grateful for your commitment to the Academy and to one another.
