The Great Class Challenge is a high-energy, five-day giving campaign that brings USNA alumni classes together in the spirit of friendly rivalry. Graduated classes go head-to-head to see who can rally the greatest participation through charitable giving. Parents of current midshipman get in on the action too. Every gift counts, no matter the size, making this a true test of class pride, engagement, and teamwork. It’s a fun, fast-paced week fueled by bragging rights, momentum, and a shared commitment to supporting the Naval Academy. It's all about participation, so the percentage of people who donate is the most important thing.
