Frank Day, a pioneering Colorado restaurateur whose generous support of Metropolitan State University of Denver will help shape the state’s hospitality and health care industries for generations, died Aug. 13. He was 93.
Last year, Day and his wife, Gina, pledged a transformative $10 million gift to support the Gina and Frank Day Health Institute at MSU Denver. The largest philanthropic contribution ever made to the University will help fund the construction of a new five-story health-education facility on campus, advancing interprofessional education for the next generation of health care professionals.
The Days’ philanthropy built on earlier support for MSU Denver’s School of Hospitality, where a $1.5 million gift in 2019 created the Day Leadership Academy and a new Hospitality Industry Leadership major.
