Event Recap
The 15th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament was held on June 2, 2016.
It was a slightly overcast but beautiful day with temperatures in the high 70s. 130 players gathered at the Patuxent Greens Golf Course in Laurel, MD to enjoy a day of fun and competition. Volunteers ensured that everyone checked in and received their goodie bags. Volunteers also manned two beverage stations and photographed the event. A Mega-Putt contest was held before tee-off with a $140 gift certificate going to Chuck Kline of Eagle Alliance.
After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered together for a country buffet lunch and awards. Eagle Alliance presented a check to the National Cryptologic Museum Foundation for $32,000. The final amount raised actually totaled over $33,000, of which over $500 was raised at the Spy Hole where players posed as spies for team photos.

Background
In June 2002 Eagle Alliance sponsored its first golf tournament to benefit the Foundation (then the NCMF). The annual tournament was dedicated to the memory of Tim Sheahan, Eagle Alliance’s first Account Executive and a key contributor to the award and success of the GROUNDBREAKER Program. Without the annual contribution from this tournament, there are years when the Foundation would have found it challenging to meet its obligations regarding support to the National Cryptologic Museum (NCM).
Starting in 2025, the tournament is hosted by General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT).
