A $100 million “Honoring the Legacy” campaign to raise money for four major segments at Denver’s new National Western Center kicked off Tuesday with a $10 million gift from Cille and Ron Williams, a long-time Denver oil and gas executive.
The first gift to the campaign will be dedicated to new stock yards to be built at the center — a gleaming, new, year-round complex that’s expected to draw more than 2 million people a year.
The Williams family name will be attached to the yards forever.
