Holly Ball Celebrates Unity, Holidays

New England cadets and midshipmen from all of our nation's service academies gathered for a night of unity and holiday celebration at the 2025 New England All Service Academy Holly Ball on Tuesday, Dec. 23, 2025.

The West Point Parents Club of Massachusetts proudly organized and hosted the event, a role that rotates between parent clubs from year to year.

With the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library providing a majestic setting in Boston, the cadets, midshipmen, and their families and loved ones enjoyed stirring remarks from Dr. Hise O. Gibson, a Colonel in the United States Army who served on active duty for more than 25 years and is now a parent of a USMA Class of 2029 cadet. The East Boston High School JROTC presented our nation's colors.

Isabel Sweet Photography and Bill Brett - Boston Photographer generously donated their talents for the event. Photos will be available for free download at this link.

Deeply generous sponsors made this magical evening possible. Please flip through the digital program book below and keep these wonderful supporters in mind.
