BILL FRACK LEAVES A LEGACY AT BGSU The generosity of Findlay native William Frack will always be remembered, as the value of his gift to the Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation, benefiting the Bowling Green State University men s basketball program and community needs in Hancock County, nearly doubled to about $20 million since it was initially announced in Frack, representatives of the Community Foundation, and BGSU announced the increased endowment at a news conference in Findlay on April 9, According to Community Foundation President Katherine Kreuchauf, three-quarters of the annual distributions from the series of existing trusts will go to the BGSU s men s basketball program. The remaining proceeds will support the community needs in Hancock County. Frack, who followed BGSU basketball for more than six decades, had his father bring him to watch the Falcons play in 1948 in the old Men s Gym for the very first time, and he remained a devoted fan until his passing in the summer of Many of my fondest memories revolve around BGSU basketball, Frack said at the April press conference. I want to give back to the program that has meant so much to me and to the community I ve called home. The gift is one of the largest ever to the Community Foundation. The endowment will be the single, largest private gift in BGSU s history. BGSU is truly blessed to have a friend like Bill Frack, said BGSU President Mary Ellen Mazey in April Bill s generosity will allow us to give our coaches and student-athletes the resources they need to excel and compete at the highest levels. I can t emphasize enough what Bill s passion and generosity means for our program, said Chris Kingston, BGSU director of athletics at the time of the announcement. This endowment literally is a game changer. It is the last piece of the puzzle for us to begin a new era of men s basketball in the Stroh Center. This was not the first time Frack s generosity touched BGSU. In 2008, he provided one of the leadership gifts to help start the Stroh Center, the University s arena and convocation center that opened in The court in the Stroh Center is named after Bill Frack.
