Calling all WPPCLINYC parents and supporters!
FUEL THE MISSION – Boodle Box Packing Day is here! Please join us for the annual WPPCLINYC Boodle Box Packing Day on Saturday, January 30, 2027.
As West Point enters the “Gray Period,” a Boodle Box from home is just the thing to lift the spirits of our Long Island–NYC cadets during the cold winter weeks ahead.
📦 What We’re Packing
65 active cadet Boodle Boxes
Plus a few additional boxes requested by legacy parents for former cadets now serving as officers around the world

Chips, cookies, candy, trail mix
Beef jerky, gummies
Wrapped cakes, Rice Krispie treats
Hot chocolate packets, drinks
Anything individually wrapped (Costco items work great!)
Items will be shared with roommates and company mates following throughout the “Gray Period.”
