Bidding begins April 1, so click here to review the Maroon & Gold Auction Catalog and begin crafting your "favorites" wish list! 

Participating in the Maroon & Gold online auction is open to all, whether or not you attend the event in-person. Those attending Maroon & Gold will also enjoy an exclusive live auction at the event. 

Stay tuned for details on the online auction and get ready to engage in this exciting opportunity, regardless of your physical presence at the event.

MMA is proud to welcome guests to the Centennial Gymtorium on campus for the Maroon & Gold Masquerade Gala. 

Immerse yourself in the enchanting masquerade theme and join us for a night filled with musical performances by our cadet choir, band, and pipers; indulge in traditional Maroon & Gold with raffles and auction; and enjoy the presentations. Guests are encouraged to embrace the masquerade theme and dress the part, and masks will be available for those who need one.

Registration for this event is now closed. If you have any questions, please contact our Advancement office at advancement@missourimilitaryacademy.com or at 573-581-1776.

Your presence at this event not only promises a memorable experience but also makes a meaningful difference by supporting cadet education and activities.

We extend a heartfelt invitation to you to become a sponsor for the Maroon & Gold, joining a legacy of leadership, support, and generosity that has shaped our institution.

Offering tiered sponsorship packages, those interested in partnering with MMA via Maroon & Gold sponsorship will receive recognition at and leading up to the event. Your sponsorship is not merely a contribution; it's a commitment to empowering young men to unlock their potential through a program of academic excellence, character and social development, and leadership training within a structured environment.

Behind every great institution stands supporters who play a vital role in its success, and we are grateful for individuals like you who embrace this responsibility. Thank you for considering sponsorship and for your continued commitment to our mission. Learn more about our sponsorship packages and benefits here.

DROP OFF ON CAMPUS

Current families can bring donations during Valentine Weekend (Feb. 9-11), when picking up for Spring Furlough (March 2), or with their cadet when he returns from Spring Furlough (March 10). Any items brought by MMA cadets should be turned in to his CLA.

Local families and alumni who would like to drop off a donation to campus can leave the donation in the advancement office, located in the basement of Bravo barracks.

AUCTION DONATION IDEAS

When thinking of auction donations, think in themes — camping, sports, jewelry, date night, BBQ, something your hometown is known for, or anything cadets would love.

If you’re having trouble coming up with auction donation ideas, our Alumni Association Auxiliary made it easy and seamless by creating an Amazon Wish List. Click here to view the Maroon & Gold registry. Purchases made from the registry will ship directly to MMA and may be combined with other donations to maximize auction packages as gift baskets. 

Please note that MMA accepts all donations, not just what is listed on the wish list. If you don't see anything you want to purchase, feel free to come up with your own creative contribution.

Whether it's through a direct financial donation to the Academy or contributing to the online auction, your involvement makes a meaningful impact. To make a direct online donation, please click here. For further assistance or to explore sponsorship opportunities, feel free to contact Vice President of Institutional Advancement, Rob Silbaugh via email, or by phone at 573.581.1776 ext. 230. We appreciate your generosity and commitment to empowering young men through academic excellence, character development, and leadership training.
