Mr. Philanthropy, AKA Charles G. Thalhimer

Charles G.Thalhimer, retired vice chairman of Thalhimers Department Stores, volunteer and philanthropist, learned early, and learned well, about the symbiotic relationship between a city, its institutions and its citizens. His family’s flagship store, Thalhimers, anchored Richmond’s downtown retail district for over 50 years. Throughout the city, public parks and museums, charitable organizations, healthcare facilities, and educational and religious institutions are stronger because of Thalhimer’s support.
