Why Give?

Chapel Pew Program

The Chapel Pew Program is meaningful way to remember and honor special individuals at the time of a memorialization, class reunion, anniversary or other special milestone. A $25,000 gift to the USNA Chapel Centennial Fund allows the permanent placement of an engraved brass plate on the inner aisle of a chapel pew at the Naval Academy Chapel.
