The Anschutz Foundation donated $2.2 million to the local Kempe Foundation on Jan. 23 to assist in moving the headquarters to a new center on Anschutz Medical Campus. The Kempe Foundation is a child abuse and neglect prevention center.
     “We are truly grateful to the generosity of the [Anschutz] foundation,” said Steve Cohen, chairman of the board of The Kempe Foundation. The donation was the single largest ever received in the foundation’s 35-year history in Denver.
     Philip Anschutz, head of the Anschutz Foundation, donated more than $90 million over an eight-year period to found CU’s new medical center where the Kempe Foundation will now be located.
     According to The Kempe Center’s website, their goal is to create a center that would address child abuse and neglect by way of clinical treatment and research methods.
     The Kempe Center will comprise the first three floors of the East Pavilion at The Children’s Hospital and is expected to open later this year.
     “This will help us affect the most kids in the most efficient way possible,” said Dr. Rob Clyman, executive director of the Kempe Center.
