The Silver Buffs Are Starting An Endowed Scholarship Fund!

For the next five years, we will be raising money to start an Endowed Silver Buffs Scholarship Fund. Join us at Homecoming and help raise money to support current students in the Golden Buffalo Marching Band. We are hoping to complete our yearly fundraising goal of at least $6,000 by the end of the year.

Remember that even the smallest donations make a big difference! Just $5/month from each alumnus in our base would knock out our yearly goal of $6,000 easily. Or a one time donation of $25-$100 would help us meet our goal. Invite all your friends, pool your donations and make a huge impact!

Why are the Silver Buffs Starting an Endowment?

Great Question! For several years Silver Buffs have had the goal of starting an endowment to provide scholarships and/or travel funds for the band. The Silver Buffs currently provides one scholarship per year with the help of the CUBAA. Our goal with the endowment is to have a more sustainable fund for future giving. This will be a multi-year campaign by the Silver Buffs, with the goal of raising $25,000 within 5 years. We're starting this process now, because the CU Foundation is about to double the minimum amount for an endowment, so it's now or never!

The Silver Buffs work hard to support current band members and encourage alumni engagement with the band. We've heard from Band leadership that the top priority is to raise more scholarship funds for current students. We love this goal, and know that as students additional scholarship funds were always super helpful. We want to make sure GBMB members are rewarded for the commitment to the University, and we hope the Silver Buffs Endowment is the start of more scholarships to come.
