Consider Endowing a Chair at Perkins
The world's great universities have attracted and supported distinguished educators by endowing academic chairs. Endowed chairs also support a musician in an orchestra. An endowed chair is a reminder of how much the person sitting in it means to the organization.
Please consider supporting our students' educational journey and sharing your passion for our work at Perkins by endowing a chair in your name or in honor of someone special to you. The chairs will be an entirely new set purchased for the Franklin H. and Katherine E. Perkins Dining Room in the Janeway Education Center. For a donation of $50, your name or the name of the person you honor will be displayed in the Janeway Dining Room.
For more information on this exciting support opportunity, please contact Kerry A. Flathers, M.S., Director of Organizational Advancement, at kflathers@perkinschool.org.
