Drawings from kids at Children's Hospital Colorado to be featured on 2018 season tickets

BOULDER - University of Colorado 2018 football season tickets will have a heart-warming touch that can only come from a child.
 
CU's ticket designs were chosen winners out of an art contest with patients from Children's Hospital Colorado.
 
"As we were going through design ideas for this year's football season tickets, we were looking for ways to creatively connect the Buffs football experience to our fans and community, and what better way is there than through the eyes of children, said Matt Biggers, Chief Marketing Officer/Associate AD External Affairs for the Buffaloes. "To take it a step further, we quickly thought of involving our great partner, Children's Colorado, to ask the children they are involved with to be the ones to submit their artwork. We were excited that they loved the idea and we were able to move forward creating this fun contest for their patients. What we got back from all of these children exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled that their contributions have made our ticket designs for this season so special."
 
Twenty-five drawings, mostly of the children's depictions of CU's mascot Ralphie or their drawings of the Colorado Buffaloes, were submitted and from that six special winners were chosen to be printed on the season ticket packets that were mailed out to fans on Wednesday.
 
"We are so appreciative of the opportunity for our patients to engage with CU Athletics in this way," said Christy Dobson, Director of Corporate and Community Relations at Children's Colorado. "The kids had a wonderful time creating their designs and the winners are so proud to have their art in front of thousands of CU fans."
 
CU will also highlight these children who had the winning drawings at the game their art is on the ticket for.
