The Colorado athletic department has received one of the largest single donations in its history.
CU announced Thursday a $3.1 million gift from Gordy and Dona Crawford and their family. The Crawfords gave the gift to support CU's sports nutrition program and the sustainable excellence initiative.
Longtime Buffs, the Crawford's support of the program extends to their late son, Brett, who attended CU from 1990-93; their son, Jeff, who is a 1990 CU graduate, and his wife, Orsi, and children, Jack and CJ.
"The Crawford family has been a proud CU family for many years and has always been generous to our mission," athletic director Rick George said in a press release.
