The Class of 2004 made its first reunion gift to West Point in October and set new records for a 10-year reunion gift in both the size of its gift and in the participation of class members. Its gift of $550,000 beat the previous record of $520,000, and the campaign had a 76-percent participation rate among class members, beating the previous participation record of 64 percent.
The Class of 2004 designated its gift to three specific For Us All Campaign needs: the Visitors Center, the Academy Scholars Program, and the Semester Abroad Program. General Caslen has deemed each of these needs as priorities for the Academy within the campaign, and the Class of 2004’s gift provides great momentum towards achieving these fundraising goals.
