The foundation donated funds for construction of the Angell Blackfriars Theatre in the Smith Center for the Arts, and it supports the Friar Foundation Program, a summer bridge program designed to ease the transition to college for about 30 students each year. The Angells were returning to California on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston, which struck the north tower of the World Trade Center.
