Tribute Gifts

The Honor Chair Program is a tangible way to remember and honor special individuals at the time of a graduation, anniversary or other special occasion - or just in recognition of that individual. A $1,000 gift to the Naval Academy Fund allows the permanent placement of an engraved brass plate to a seat in Alumni Hall at the Naval Academy. The text of the plate is determined by the donor and can include up to 4 lines with 26 characters per line. For samples of text, please review our Honor Chair Guidelines.
