Funeral services were pending today for businessman and philanthropist Robert Addison Day, the chairman and past CEO of the W.M. Keck Foundation and an ardent supporter of his alma mater, Claremont McKenna College.“As a dear friend, loyal alumnus, global business leader, dedicated Board chair, and visionary donor, Robert’s personal, professional, and philanthropic commitment to Claremont McKenna is extraordinary.
“I know from talking with CEOs every day and sitting on boards of $40 billion-plus companies that there is an enormous opportunity for young people who possess leadership skills, financial acumen, and the kind of judgment and perspective that only an undergraduate liberal arts education can provide,” Day said at the time of the donation.
The Keck Foundation donated $110 million to USC in 1999 to create the Keck School of Medicine. It gifted the university another $150 million in 2011 and $10 million more in 2017. Day was a Life Trustee at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; an Honorary Trustee of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Saint John’s Health Center; a Founders Circle Member of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University; and a member of The Broad Foundations Board of Governors.
