CELEBRATING DEDICATION AND GENEROSITY

The Beneski Legacy

The Beneski family’s legacy at Trinity continues to grow and inspire the University community.

 

First Year Experience

Ted and Laurie’s connection to Trinity developed as parents of Jeffrey ’11 and David ’14 when they navigated the college experience with their sons.

 

The Parent Council

They joined the Parents Council, co-chairing the group in 2012, and encouraged greater partnerships with parents to support the University’s mission.

 

Board of Trustees

For the last decade, Ted has served on the Board of Trustees and is the current Vice-Chair and Chair-Elect. Through his service, leadership, and philanthropy, he is making a profound difference on Trinity’s campus.

 

Commitment to Excellence

Now, their commitment to excellence is represented through Trinity’s new path to discovery—the Beneski Parkway.

GENEROSITY, REALIZED

Investing in Students

From opening doors to a Trinity education to ensuring the construction of Trinity’s award-winning science building, the Beneskis have contributed to access, infrastructure, and initiatives that make Trinity the institution of excellence we find today.

Scholarships

As one of the most critical, ongoing needs for the University, scholarships offer access to the Trinity experience for many exceptional students. The Beneskis have given generously to provide financial assistance, helping to ensure students can pursue their educational dreams.

Emerging Needs of the University

Each year, the University advances its mission through a number of strategic avenues. At times, opportunities arise that necessitate quick, but thoughtful action. Gifts by the Beneskis to the president’s discretionary fund allow the University to address these emerging priorities, which ultimately have an impact on the campus community.

THANK YOU

“At long last, the Beneski Parkway offers a visible and inviting entrance to Trinity’s campus, welcoming students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the broader community. Ted and Laurie, thank you for your transformative support.”
