Eleanor B. Daugherty

The Society is named in honor of the late Eleanor B. Daugherty, a Chautauquan and retired music teacher from Buffalo, New York. Her major bequest to Chautauqua's piano and religion departments created an enduring legacy and an indelible mark on the Institution, far in excess of her lifetime giving capabilities. The Eleanor B. Daugherty Society is composed of individuals who have chosen to support Chautauqua's mission through charitable bequests, life-income gifts and trusts.

If you have already included Chautauqua in your plans, please let us know so we can recognize and thank you, and welcome you into the Eleanor B. Daugherty Society. (Requests for anonymity are respected.) For more information, contact Jenny Stitely, CFRE, CAP® at 410.598.6845 or jstitely@chq.org or Deborah B. Williamson at 804.721.9930 or dwilliamson@chq.org.
