TOLEDO, Ohio - Charles A. "Chuck" Sullivan, one of the University of Toledo's greatest and most consistent philanthropists, passed away today with family members by his side at a long-term Roman Catholic facility with hospice care, according to a family spokesperson. He was 86.
Sullivan and his wife Jackie have been responsible for over $14 million in contributions to the University, making them the second-highest donors in school history. Perhaps the most significant donation from the Sullivans was a $5.5 million gift announced in July of 2006 for the renovation of then-Savage Hall and the construction of the Sullivan Athletic Complex.
