Lifelong Support for CU Athletes
Buffs4Life Foundation was established in 2005 with a mission to empower and uplift University of Colorado athletes, both past and present, by providing lifelong support systems. Our organization offers critical resources including financial assistance for medical bills, mental health support, career development services, and physical wellness guidance. We foster a strong community network that ensures no CU athlete faces challenges alone, enhancing their ability to thrive during collegiate careers and beyond.Through strategic partnerships and community engagement, we deliver tailored counseling referrals, resume-building programs, and health-focused initiatives. Our commitment to the CU family is rooted in the legacy of former athlete Anthony Weatherspoon, whose battle with leukemia inspired the creation of this vital support network. We operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, ensuring all financial contributions are tax-deductible while maintaining transparency in our operations.
