DU Honors Members of the Pioneer Legacy Society
Annual event held at the Madden Museum of Art in Greenwood Village
The University of Denver honored those who have pledged to make an estate gift at the July 7 annual Pioneer Legacy Society event. Dozens of donors were celebrated for their generosity and support of DU by committing to make a gift to the University through their estate.
“This event is a great opportunity to gather some of our most loyal and visionary donors, to thank them for their generosity, and to keep them connected with all that’s going on at our University,” said Steve Shineman, the University’s senior director of gift planning. Chancellor Rebecca Chopp also met and spoke with the donors in attendance.
This year’s event was held at the Madden Museum of Art at the Palazzo Verdi in Greenwood Village. The Madden art collection recently was gifted to the University by developer John Madden. Jr. It consists of more than 120 artworks valued at $10 million.
