What is the Boodle Box Build event? 

The Boodle Box Build event is a super fun event where WPCC-CO members come together to build and mail care packages (Boodle Boxes) to all Colorado and Wyoming cadets attending USMA. This is a wonderful opportunity to show our support and appreciation
for our cadets, and to come together as a community to create meaningful connections.
Let's make sure every cadet from Colorado and Wyoming feels the love and support of our amazing West Point Parents group!
Below are some photos from last year's event to give you an idea of the box sizes and our assembly line!  You build your cadet's box first...so it is very special. You can also include a special note you your cadet. If you can't attend in person, consider dropping off Boodle with someone who is attending or making a donation towards gift cards for each box.
