After our last reunion in 2021, we were asked to support a fundraising effort coincident with our 40th Reunion in 2025, thus giving us four years to concentrate our efforts on reaching our goal. We set a lofty goal of raising $1 million to be split up as $750,000 for the construction of the Fluegel Alumni Center and $250,000 for the USNA Fund for Athletic Excellence.

As of March 1st, we have raised a total of $1,226,194 for this project, $826,383 for the Alumni Center and $399,812 for the Fund for Athletic Excellence. Overall we are 123% of our goal well ahead of the December 31, 2025, deadline we set for raising this money, this this project is now closed and completed! I cannot say how proud I am to be part of such a great and generous group!!

I will soon be announcing a new “mini” fundraising project between now and our 40th Reunion in September and this will be a company competition to reach our goal and do so by tapping into the 75% of classmates who have not participated as of yet. The company with the highest % and highest dollar amount of participation will get a special gift and recognition at the 40th Reunion weekend. Let’s call it a Color Giving Competition, who will be our Color Companies at the 40th? I am going to let your Company Reps be the ones who lead the charge on this project and I am confident in an equal amount of success.

We raised over a million dollars with only 220 Classmates participating, on this next drive, I am asking the rest of you to consider donating some amount, $85 or $100 or more would be great!! There will be more on this project coming soon and I know I can count on your participation to make this happen.
