Crypto Cup

Photo Galleries |  Overview & Early Data

Information about the earliest Crypto Cup tournaments is limited. Thankfully, we have some data and a selection of photos - many taken by Foundation volunteer John Garcia. See some historical data below for early tournaments.

For many years, the Foundation hosted a post-tournament Awards and Volunteer Appreciation luncheon at the National Cryptologic Museum. You will see photos from these events in the various galleries. Some years have extensive photos which flow over into Shutterfly albums.

The Foundation is deeply grateful to Eagle Alliance (now GDIT) for hosting these incredibly fun and vital fundraisers for the Foundation. Each tournament has typically raised $30-40,000 in support of the Foundation's mission. We are also very grateful to the generous sponsor companies - many that have been participating since the start. Companies such as SCI, FedData, CyberCore, Cisco, TechUSA and more. We look forward each year to this special opportunity to network and relax with members of our amazing community!
