MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation Donates $1 Million To CU-Boulder Law School

Dean David Getches, today, announced the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation will donate $1 million to the University of Colorado Foundation to establish the Gilbert Goldstein Fund.

The Gilbert Goldstein Fund will be dedicated to funding scholarships and fellowships to deserving law students and faculty of the Colorado Law School. In recognition of Gilbert Goldstein's dedication and generosity to the greater Denver legal community, the University of Colorado will designate the Main Plaza at the new Wolf Law Building as the "Gilbert Goldstein Plaza."

Over the years, Gilbert Goldstein has remained a dedicated and devoted member of the Denver legal community. His generosity and commitment have made a significant difference in the growth and stature of the legal profession in Colorado and, in particular, Colorado Law. Goldstein's achievements, not only as a respected lawyer, but as a professional committed to the betterment of the community and the state of Colorado, make it appropriate to recognize his life's work through this generous gift by providing for continuing academic research and learning at the CU School of Law.

Larry A. Mizel, president of the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation, said, "We are proud and grateful for the opportunity to honor Gilbert Goldstein and support the students and faculty of the CU Law School. Mr. Goldstein continues to be an active role model and inspiration to many in our community."

"We are honored to have Gil Goldstein as an alumnus and, given his stature in the realms of legal professionalism, business, and public service, it honors us to have his name on the plaza of our new home," said Getches. "Our appreciation for his contributions to the legal community is matched only by our gratitude for the generous gift by the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation. This modest man is revered by so many people throughout the Denver legal and business community."

The MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation was established in 1999 and is dedicated to charitable, educational and other philanthropic endeavors in the state of Colorado and throughout the nation.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will dedicate the 183,000 square foot Wolf Law Building on Friday, Sept. 8, at 3 p.m. The new building will feature two high-tech courtrooms, 50 percent more space for law journal offices and law clinics, and the largest resource collection and most technologically advanced law library in the 12-state Rocky Mountain region.
