EWU 125 Years Logo 125 years of tradition, connections and opportunity.

Give. Share. Celebrate.


Benjamin P. Cheney With a contribution of $10,000, Benjamin P. Cheney helped the citizens of the community fulfill their dream of an institute of higher learning. The Benjamin P. Cheney Academy opened its doors in 1882.

Cheney valued the future of education and knew that his gift would change generations of lives and offer educational opportunities which he was denied.

We invite you to play an active role in celebrating “changed lives” by contributing a one-time gift of $125 to Eastern’s birthday challenge. Wouldn’t it be a phenomenal mark in history if 10,000 individuals (one for each dollar contributed by Benjamin P. Cheney) whose lives where changed by Eastern, donate a $125 birthday gift to the Eastern Fund?
