   “My family has been connected to East Central University
     for over 100 years. We've been proud to be a part of its
     story, and we hop others will join in moving forward. It
     takes financial support to make that possible. Living here in
     Ada, the needs are more visible - it's clear just how much
     this university matters. ECU doesn't just educate students;
     it strengthens the entire community."
