WELCOME!

Thank you for visiting our West Point Parents Club of Central Florida website. The young men and women from Central Florida of "The Long Gray Line" represent our state and our country with valor and honor.  We are proud of them and their dedication to our nation and to the Army values – "Duty, Honor, Country" – each upholds as they prepare to become officers in the United States Army.

Our mission is to foster an environment that builds strong connections between parents, cadets, and graduates of West Point.

We fulfill our purpose by gathering for scheduled events and banquets, sending cards and boodle to cadets during the academic year, and providing information, encouragement and support to one another.

This year, we were particularly proud to host the 27th Annual United States Service Academies Military Ball - the All Academy Ball - at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando.  Our nation's service academies came together as one to support our cadets and midshipmen from the region. 

Marine Corps Major General Russell Sanborn (Ret.), marveled our audience with his story of leadership and perseverance, lessons he learned as a combat pilot and Prisoner of War.  While we all want to beat each other at football and any sports, we also want to work as one for the benefit of our great nation!  Have we said, "hooah!" yet?

This year, our Club was very fortunate to be corporately supported in our programs and efforts by (among others):
