Support the Army Officers of Tomorrow!

The 2025-2026 UC Berkeley Army ROTC Cadet Club cohort!

The Army ROTC Cadet Club supports and aids the Army ROTC cadets studying at UC Berkeley as well as cross-enrolled students at many local colleges that participate in the program. The club conducts monthly meetings where we assess and discuss fundraising opportunities, morale boosting events, and ways to volunteer to better our local community. These tasks include coordinating ruck marches rucking with cans for the homeless, distributing custom uniforms amongst the program, and volunteering with local organizations to provide support at sponsored events. Crowdfunding helps us better aid our cadets, as well as prepare them for their Army careers. Your support will help us provide our cadets with ample gear to successfully complete military missions assigned to us by the United States Army Cadet Command (USACC) and achieve high scores at Cadet Summer Training.

With your support, we can help our future Army officers acquire:

1. New rucking material (socks, boots, moleskin, etc.)
2. Uniform items for cadets joining the program.
3. Equipment that will aid in tactics (red flashlight, waterproof notebooks, gerbers, etc.)
4. Materials for semester BBQs to welcome interested students into the program.
5. Cleaning materials to refurbish our Cadet Lounge as well as vans that transport us to different training exercises.

We are grateful for all the funds we raise, and will use every cent made to purchase items for new cadets to better situate them for the U.S. Army. We will make smaller purchases if necessary to reach our ultimate goal of helping our members. If we are able to reach over our desired goal of $2,000, we will save the funds for the next cohort and their goals. All estimates are rough only, and actual expenditures may vary.

For any additional information, please contact our president Miwa Gudmundsen at miwaygud@berkeley.edu, or our Media Relations Officer Nithiyashree Moorthi nithiya_1228@berkeley.edu. Thank you for your consideration and Go Bears!
