Class of 1980

Classmates and Friends of 1980:

Thank you for taking a moment to respond to the call for action to support the 2026 Great Class Challenge (GCC). I am proud to say that our donor participation and overall donations have increased during each of the last three years; culminating with 24% of the Class contributing more than $57,600 in 2025! Every donation counts! The 2026 GCC is underway and making way; it also serves as a kick off to our 50^th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign! You have the opportunity to direct your donation to one or all of the three pillars selected for our 50^th; the Naval Academy Fund, the Athletic Excellence Fund, and the Class of 1980 Nutrition Center that will be a focal point in the new Naval Academy Lacrosse Center. This state-of-the-art nutrition center is the first one designed and built to accomplish the critical mission of supporting our varsity athletes, not just lacrosse players.

So please, join me in getting off the bench and into the game! Make a donation and show your commitment to our Naval Academy, our Navy Athletics, and our midshipmen athletes Nutrition Program.
