Class of 1977 Challenge

Every Gift Counts – Make Your Gift Count Even More!

For every one percent increase (up to five percent) in alumni donor participation during 2006, the Naval Academy will receive $200,000 from a member of the Class of 1977! And,for every class that beats the 2006 donor participation percentage achieved by the Class of 1977, the Naval Academy will receive an additional $5,000!

Meeting the terms of the Challenge of '77 will result in a transformational gift of more than $1 million to benefit the Naval Academy and the Brigade of Midshipmen.
