WP-ORG: WP-ORG kicks off fund drive #56 – 28 years and counting!

Dear WP-ORG Community,

We’re kicking off our 56th semi-annual fund drive (FD56) with a goal to raise $40,465, ensuring the continued operation of West-Point.ORG for the upcoming six months.

To contribute, you can donate online via this link: https://www.west-point.org/donate/. You can select your preferred payment method – credit/debit card, PayPal, check, or even stock donations. We believe in full transparency, so if you’d like to see the specifics of our budget, it’s available at https://www.west-point.org/budget/.

For the past 28 years, we’ve relied on your twice-yearly donations to keep WP-ORG running and serving the West Point community. Your contributions serve as a strong endorsement of the work we do. By keeping West Point grads, parents, cadets, and friends connected through email lists, websites, and other resources, we’ve been able to fulfill our mission. This approach has worked successfully for nearly three decades, and we’re confident that together we can make this fund drive a success as well.

Our goal is to continue offering the services you depend on, from dynamic WordPress-powered websites for clubs and societies to email listservs that keep everyone in touch. Your support has always been the key to helping us carry out our mission providing “an online communications infrastructure that enables graduates, parents, and friends of the military academy to maintain and strengthen the associations that bind us together”.

Please consider donating today:

Thank you for your continued trust and support!

Sincerely,
Warren Hearnes ’89
