The West Point Parents Club of North Carolina was proud to host the 2025 All Academy Ball on Sunday, December 21st—an evening filled with tradition, celebration, and camaraderie among our service academy families.
We were honored to welcome 135 attendees, including 34 cadets and midshipmen, who were able to attend complimentary thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: Will Manning (USMA ’93), Dr. Chris and Linanne Guest, an anonymous donor, and USAA. We were also grateful for the partnership and support of the Navy and Air Force Academy Parents Clubs of North Carolina, helping make this a truly unified academy celebration.
The evening was expertly hosted by Master of Ceremonies Darryl Torres, who kept the program engaging and lively. COL (Ret.) Greg Stone (USMA ’76) served as our keynote speaker and delivered a wonderful and inspiring message that resonated with cadets, families, and guests alike. In celebration of the Class of 2026, nine Firsties were presented with a special token as they prepare for graduation next year.
Special thanks to Tori Torres, Lisa Williams, Paula Marks, Mimi Royall, and Dalia Zatlin for their hard work on the planning committee, and to DJ Jeff Fish for keeping the dance floor full throughout the evening. We are also grateful to Kimberly Midkiff Photography for beautifully capturing the night’s memories.
We hope you enjoy the photos from this special evening and look forward to celebrating together again at the 2026 All Academy Ball!
