Before the ball drops on Saturday night, I’m taking time to reflect on our incredible community and share my immense gratitude for everything our staff, volunteers, and supporters like you do to keep The Cadet Foundation fulfilling our mission every day.

Thanks to you, in 2022 we were able to enable Cadets to continue independently producing The Cadet newspaper, pay off Class Rings for Cadets inthe Class of '24 facing financial difficulty, support the VMI Hockey Club, fund cadet group activities for their Companies, defend the Corps' right to free speech and runing barracks, and more!

We simply could not do this work without your support. These last few days of the year are a critical time for nonprofits to raise funds, and I’m writing to ask a favor:

Our goal is to raise $10,000 before the end of the year. With your help, we will use these funds to continue publishing The Cadet, help Cadets in need with the Class Rings next year, begin developing merit-based academic scholarships, and conduct other programs working with Cadets appointed by their peers on program in barracks and keeping our programs growing strong in 2023 and many years to come.

Thank you for being a part of The Cadet Foundation family.

Wishing you and your family a joyful 2023!

The Cadets, alumni and other supporters of The Cadet Foundation
