Avery Dennison Mourns Death of Charles D. Miller

An avid supporter of athletics, Miller was one of the first members of the organizing committee that brought the 1984 Olympic Games to Los Angeles. After the games, the committee’s surplus funds were used to establish the Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles, which continues today as the LA84 Foundation supporting youth sports. He also played a key role in forming the Los Angeles Sports Council, one of the nation’s leading civic sports support organizations, and provided extensive support to the Los Angeles area and national chapters of U.S. Lacrosse. At the time of his death, he was a member of the executive board of the Rose Bowl Legacy Campaign for the renovation and preservation of the Rose Bowl. He was also a member of the advisory board of the Autry Museum of Western Heritage and a trustee of Southern California Public Radio.
