WPAOG Thanks You

Thank You from WPAOG

In 2024, the Long Gray Line and friends and families of West Point gave $79.1 million in cash receipts and gifts in kind for the Academy and WPAOG. Your generosity and commitment strengthen the Academy’s Margin of Excellence programs, sustain the traditions that pay tribute to generations of West Point graduates, and best prepare our cadets to be warfighters to defend our Nation. Thank you!
