Join Us for the 2025 All Academy Ball

You, your family, and friends are invited to be part of something extraordinary at the 2025 North Carolina All Academy Ball. It’s an event like no other as we honor our North Carolina cadets and midshipmen, and we want you to be there! It’s a special evening filled with camaraderie, pride, and the shared spirit of service. This year, the United States Military Academy at West Point will host the event, and we look forward to welcoming as many of our academy families as possible to join in this memorable celebration.

The evening will begin with formal military traditions, including honoring of our cadets and midshipmen, with special recognition of our Firsties, followed by a seated dinner and engaging words from COL(R) Greg Stone.
