Supporting Organizations Naval Academy Athletic Association Ricketts Hall, Naval Academy, 410-293-2700 www.navysports.com The Naval Academy Athletic Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization charged with providing resources to support the varsity and junior varsity programs offered by the Naval Academy. The NAAA operates with the guidance of their Board of Control, whose members report to the Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy. Over 90% of funding support for the NAAA programs is through external sources of revenue (i.e. Blue & Gold memberships, ticket sales, corporate sponsorship, television revenue, parking, etc.). Less than 10% of the operating budget for the varsity and junior varsity programs is provided by the Academy via government funding. Therefore, Blue & Gold memberships are critical to provide our teams with the supplemental dollars necessary to close the “resource gap” between the Naval Academy teams and our Division I competition. Private support is critical to NAAA's success. To join The Blue & Gold or to request more information, contact: The Blue-N*-Gold 566 Brownson Road, Annapolis, MD 21402 Attn: Blue-N*-Gold 410-293-8708, AthleticDevelopment@usna.edu www.NavySports.com Tickets for athletic contests in the Yard can be purchased through NAAA (1-800-US-4-NAVY).
