  Watch the big game with fellow alumni and friends.
  

  On Saturday 14 December, the greatest of all college football rivalries will be renewed as the Navy Midshipmen clash with the Black Knights of Army West Point.

  If you are not going to be at the game, then you need to be at our signature event right here in Hampton Roads!

  The Hampton Roads Chapter is planning another gala Army–Navy Party. All Navy fans—Chapter members, alumni, family and friends—can catch the Blue & Gold in action on the big screens at Shorebreak Pizza & Taphouse in Virginia Beach. You can't miss any of the action because every single television in the establishment will be tuned to the Army–Navy game.

  Shorebreak prides itself on accommodating the most avid sports fans and families – great food and great service!! They feature a game room for the kids and the place is 100% smoke-free.

  Free Beer and Pizza

  The Hampton Roads Chapter is springing for a limited amount of beer and pizza for all Navy fans. And USAA is chipping in as well. If you're not a Chapter member, you can become one here. Your membership helps pay for events like this, but also supports the Naval Academy and the Midshipmen.

  Regardless of where you're watching the game, you can also easily donate to our event funds so that we can spend more of our membership income on our mission. We will announce you as a donor at half-time.

  Lots of Raffle Prizes, Big and Small

  Raffle prizes are TBA
  

  Support the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program

  Local Marines will be on hand to accept donations of new, unwrapped gifts for needy children in the community. They will also accept cash, or checks made payable to Toys for Tots.

  Please Register

  While the entirety of Shorebreak will be devoted to the Army–Navy game, it does not have unlimited capacity. We'll have volunteers ready to check you in upon arrival.
  
  Registration is free! However, you are responsible for food and drink you order once the free beer and pizza run out. Registration does not guarantee you a seat. It will be open seating, so get there early and plan to share some space with some shipmates.
