Buffs4Life Details
In 2006, a group of former Buffs, who were an integral part of the turnaround in CU's football fortunes in the mid-1980's, became aware that one of their teammates, Anthony Weatherspoon (Spoon), had been diagnosed with leukemia. His prognosis was bleak and the gravity of the illness hit his family hard in many aspects, including financially. As the burden of medical costs overwhelmed his family, his friends and teammates wanted to help.The idea of establishing an organization predicated on Buffs helping Buffs in need was born. Spoon's reputation as being a hardnosed and powerful fullback is synonymous with CU's return to greatness, but his influence off the field is his greatest legacy. Even though Spoon lost his battle to leukemia later that year, his spirit lives on in the CU Football family. The Buffs4Life Foundation is ready to help those who have worn the Black in Gold in times of need.Buffs4Life means just that. You are a Buff 4 Life and not just for the four years you wore the uniform. It is a great honor for all our board members and for those who participate in our cause to be a part of something that brings our community, the University of Colorado, and the Buff alumni family closer together.We will continue to reach out to other Buffs in their time of need. We are committed to supporting Buffs shoulder-to-shoulder through their struggles. We are Buffs Helping Buffs. We are committed to raising awareness for suicide prevention. Until we can help prevent suicide, we will raise money and work within the alumni and mental health communities leading with our motto, #NeverAgain. Go Buffs!
