BECOME AN AMBASSADOR

West Point Challenge Ambassadors encourage others to get involved. As an Ambassador, you will motivate fellow Old Grads, parents, and friends of the Academy to support the Corps during these 5 days. The top 3 Ambassadors will also receive a $50 gift card to the WPAOG Gift Shop. 

Make your own gift and get two more gifts with your personalized giving link to receive an exclusive GO ARMY cooler backpack after the Challenge ends. 


AMBASSADOR TALKING POINTS

The primary goal is participation. This year’s goal is 30% alumni participation which translates to approximately 16,500 donors including those who donate monthly.

The primary focus of the WPC is participation. A $5 gift registers participation. The minimum is set at $5 to make this accessible to all Grads to register their support with a participatory gift to any fund.

Alumni participation is a metric used in higher education which impacts rankings. Rankings are more than points of boasting; they significantly impact applicant pools. We want to attract the best and brightest to apply to West Point to have a large, high-caliber applicant pool. In addition, rankings impact donations. We need donations and partnerships to continue to provide high-level cadet development.

Following the AAC in 2021, the representative sister academy alumni associations decided to sunset the All Academy Challenge for various reasons. Each academy now holds their own giving days focused on their needs and goals. We understand that the competition and drive to beat Navy and the other academies spurred on the All Academy Challenge, but we hope that Grads will equally support the WPC with their participation.
