Buffs4Life Foundation

Our Story

In 2005, a group of former CU Boulder football players came together to support their teammate, Anthony Weatherspoon, who was battling leukemia. The financial burden of his medical expenses inspired the creation of Buffs4Life, an organization dedicated to helping CU student athletes and alumni facing similar challenges. Although Spoon lost his battle, his legacy lives on through the Buffs4Life Foundation, which provides essential support to those in need.

Our Impact

Buffs4Life ensures that no University of Colorado athlete or alumni suffers medical or financial hardship alone. By offering financial assistance for medical bills and mental health resources, the foundation uplifts the CU Boulder community.
