Crypto Cup

The 24th Annual Crypto Cup Golf Tournament, hosted by General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), was held on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at the Waverly Woods Golf Course in Marriottsville, MD. The day started off with rain but switched to a beautiful sunny afternoon with crazy wind, which made the golf that much more exciting. We had 35 teams for a total of 144 players registered, an increase from last year. The day began with a Continental Breakfast (sponsored by Chesapeake Network Installations (CNI)), and check-in for players at 8:00 am with a 9:00 am shotgun start. Our wonderful volunteers arrived early to help set up, check in golfers, provide participant bags, as well as assist with all activities throughout the day.  We had two photographers onsite, as well as the Spy Hole “photo booth” to capture all the best moments of the day.

After 18 holes of play, everyone gathered for the buffet lunch (sponsored by EOA Technologies), as well as the Awards portion of the event. Jim Millette, GDIT presented a check for $35,000 to the National Cryptologic Foundation (NCF), bringing the total raised throughout the years to over $865, 000.
