GRAND JUNCTION - Rockies co-owner Charlie Monfort will make it to Boston for tomorrow night's World Series opener, but he's making a quick trip to the Western Slope today to give $500,000 to Mesa State College.
Monfort, who sits on the college's Board of Trustees, will donate the money today from the Monfort Family Foundation toward the college's $43 million remodeling and expansion of Saunders Fieldhouse.
The expansion will provide space for the nursing and kinesiology programs as well as athletic facilities.
Monfort is to be the featured guest at a fundraising lunch today at the college. He will then leave quickly.
"We have to have him at the airport by 1:30," college spokeswoman Dana Nunn said.
