Buffs around the world came together over the past few months in remarkable ways to support students, staff and faculty in need. The results?
- 1,835 students received a total of $904,143 in support
- 380 staff and faculty received a total of $164,753 in support
- 477 donors contributed $91,357 to the Student Emergency Fund
- 249 donors contributed $51,822 to the Staff and Faculty Emergency Fund
- $1.6 million pledged from the CU Boulder campus to the emergency funds to support the CU Boulder community
But the effort didn’t stop there as Buffs also stepped up to help essential workers and their community at large:
- 1,125 masks made by 40 volunteers for campus essential workers
- 47,719 pounds of food distributed to 2,347 people through produce pop-ups and mobile food pantries*
Plus, we found new ways to stand shoulder to shoulder while remaining socially distanced:
- Sending virtual messages of support to the Class of 2020
- Coloring custom-designed CU cartoons
- Using CU-themed Zoom backgrounds for virtual meetings
Thank you for your care and compassion during these challenging times. And remember, we are all Buffs Together!
* During the 2019–20 academic year
