Honor Dana Crawford: Support Union Station Foundation

Tax deductible
Denver Union Station lost a core member of the Union Station Alliance in January, 2025. Dana Crawford passed away last month at the age of 93. Denver Union Station is collecting donations in support of the Union Station Foundation to honor her legacy. Dana Crawford founded the Union Station Foundation to cultivate long-term partnerships that support Denver Union Station as a gathering place, preserving downtown Denver’s rich history, sustaining the environment, and enhancing the local education system.

Crawford was an award-winning preservationist who initiated a concept of urban renewal that was one of the first of its kind in the United States. She pioneered the redevelopment of Denver’s historic Larimer Square in the mid 1960s, creating a leading shopping and dining district from the neglected and abandoned buildings on Denver’s original main street.

She was also a founding member of the Union Station Alliance, who led the efforts to revitalize Denver Union Station. Originally opened in 1881, the Denver’s landmark train station reopened to great fanfare in July 2014 after a $54 million renovation that included the creation of The Crawford Hotel, which was named in her honor. Dana Crawford was a visionary who made an impact on her community in countless ways, with your support we can continue to fund the nonprofits she cared deeply about.
