Dear Buffs,
It’s time to run it back again. With the success of coming back to Boulder last year, we will host the 56th Annual University of Colorado Ski Ball which is scheduled for Friday, October 2, and will again take place at the amazing Limelight Hotel adjacent to campus on the corner of Broadway and University.
Please join us to celebrate the ski team and its alumni at the best party in Boulder, once again including dinner, dancing and an exclusive Silent Auction showcasing our outstanding partnerships across the ski community.
You can show your support in several ways!
- Gold Benefactor or Corporate Table sponsor with recognition at Ski Ball
- Donate items to be showcased and bid on during the Silent Auction
- Donate directly to the CU Ski Program
College athletics is changing by the month and with eligibility rules, the continued development of Name, Image and Likeness and entering year two with revenue sharing, we need your help more than ever to help attract the best young skiers to Boulder and continue to provide them with the resources needed to compete for and win championships.
In recent years, we have made huge strides in upgrading our training facilities including a state-of-the-art Nordic treadmill and a modern dedicated fueling station for ski athletes.
Last year we were able to upgrade our space on east campus that houses our Nordic Treadmill in order to fully utilize its use for all of our ski student-athletes, including new flooring, additional training equipment and some much-needed decor to make it one of the top ski training facilities in the country, if not the world.
We also continue to fundraise to send our athletes to world level competitions around the world, a necessary expense in the recruiting game to attract the top talent to Boulder. Summer school is also an expense that we will need to fundraise to continue to provide in special circumstances for our student-athletes, who continue to achieve well above a 3.5 GPA across the board in the classroom.
We need your support to provide this no-compromise pathway, so please give generously, and know that together, we can deliver an opportunity second to none. This is our future, and we are well on our way!
I want to acknowledge a few of our ski-specific endowments including the Jimmie Heuga Scholarship Fund, Spencer James Nelson Memorial Fund, the Richard Rokos Endowed Ski Program Support Fund, and the Bill Marolt Endowment. Please consider donating to these funds and/or creating one of your own.
Thank you again for your support of CU Skiing and I look forward to seeing you at the Ski Ball!
