Our Crowdfunding Groups
In 2013, Colorado College triumphed in an overwhelming victory over the University of Denver, and took home the trophy in the CC vs. DU alumni participation challenge.
Flash forward four years: Today, on Nov. 1, CC and DU will go head-to-head again in the Gold Pan Giving Challenge. The first school to receive gifts from 1,000 donors will win! Alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students are all eligible to participate in this year's challenge.
You have been a key donor who has led CC challenges to successful outcomes in the past, so we're calling on you now to help us beat DU again!
Remember, no matter the challenge, CC always wins:
Let's show DU that we can beat them as quickly as possible. Make your gift NOW and help us spread the word!
The winner will be announced at the puck drop of the first CC vs. DU hockey game on Dec. 8, 2017. You can follow progress CC here, or of both schools and purchase tickets to the games at DUCC.co
