Congratulations to your Cadet Candidate on his or her acceptance to the United States Military Academy!

The coming four years and beyond will no doubt present remarkable opportunities and challenges for your New Cadet Candidate and for you as parents/guardians. The West Point Parents Club of Long Island and New York City (WPPCLINYC) is a community of parents whose goal is to support our cadets, each other, and the broader West Point community, and we invite you to join us.

Membership Benefits Include:

  • Two Member Name Badges, including your name and the name and class year of your Cadet

  • Invitations for parents/guardians to attend club sponsored events, such as: the New Cadet Candidate Dinner; the Summer Barbecue; a club Football Tailgate; the All Academy Ball; the February Boodle Box packing event; and more!

  • Free admission for your cadet(s) who attend(s) the New Cadet Candidate Welcome Dinner, Summer BBQ, Club Football Tailgate, and the All-Academy Ball

  • Boodle Boxes – 1 cubic foot of snacks! Given annually on Super Bowl Weekend.

  • Plebe Year – A small gift from the club included in the Plebe’s Boodle Box.

  • Firstie Year – An American Flag will be flown over the U.S. Capitol building on the occasion of Post Night. A personalized certificate will be delivered along with the flag. Many Firsties choose to use this flag for their commissioning ceremony.

  • Firstie Year – A silver coin. Many Firsties choose to use this coin as a challenge coin after graduation to a selected under-ranked military or Cadet who salutes the newly commissioned officer.

  • Relationships – as the commercial says, “Priceless”.

Lifetime membership is a one-time fee of $275 per Cadet Candidate, New Cadet or Plebe; and $200 for Yearlings, $175 for Cows, or $150 for Firsties. Membership fees may be reduced and prorated if joined mid-year or after the Plebe year. It covers the above benefits for all four years that your cadet attends USMA, and after. As we are an all-volunteer club, we count on members to serve in some capacity.
