Hey, if our Society President says it’s just $5, then it’s just $5!!

[West Point AOG @WPAOG]

It’s $5. Not $5,000.
Not a new building.
Not a tank.

Just $5 to be counted in the West Point Challenge 3-7 May. That $5 drives participation, unlocks challenge funds, and shows up for cadets.

Step up. Be counted. Give $5: https://t.co/gQ0ojGHdJd
