Crawford Family Provides CU Athletics With Largest One-Time Gift Ever

BOULDER — Earlier this summer, University of Colorado Athletic Director Rick George made clear what he believes the future holds for the Buffaloes.

"We have to think big if we're going to do big things and we're going to think big," George told the media. "There's a bright future ahead for us. I'm hopeful in the next five or six years we can accomplish a lot of the things that will make this department and this university elite."

The message has been heard. One of Colorado's most generous donors, Jeff Crawford (CU Class of 1990) and his wife, Orsi, through the Crawford Family Foundation, have again stepped up to the plate in a very big way with a new gift of $5.
