Illinois All Academy Ball

The Northern Illinois All Academy Ball is an annual event held in the Chicago area honoring and connecting cadets, midshipmen, alumni and parents of the five federal services academies: the U.S Military Academy (West Point), the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis), the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs), the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (New London) & the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point).

Each year for the past 33 years, the Service Academy Parent Clubs host an appreciation event for the young men and women who attend our nation's Service Academies. This formal event, the Northern Illinois All Academy Ball, is a way for us to celebrate and encourage these future leaders and thank them for their willingness to serve our great nation. At this event, the Cadets and Midshipmen enjoy camaraderie, good food, a memorable speaker, and dancing.

The Joint Services Academies of Northern Illinois Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, made possible by the hard work of volunteers from parent associations of the five service academies. Our parent volunteers work together with sponsors and donors to underwrite and organize this annual event. All monies raised are to support bringing together military cadets / midshipmen and families and help to defray the cost of this celebration of service by our young men and women.
