Ralphie's Kids Roundup (RKR), funded in part by the generosity of donors, provides an opportunity for Colorado kids, 8th grade and under, to experience college sports at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Unfortunately, kids who are in 9th grade and above are unable to participate due to NCAA rules. Sports in this program include Football, Volleyball, Soccer and Women's Basketball.
Chauncey's Kids Roundup
Chauncey's Kids Roundup (CKR) provides an opportunity for Colorado kids, 6th grade and under, to experience Men's Basketball at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Unfortunately, kids who are in 7th grade and above are unable to participate due to NCAA rules. This program is made possible by the generous support of former CU Basketball player, Chauncey Billups.
Groups Who Can Participate?
Ralphie's and Chauncey's Kids Roundup looks to bring out schools, sports teams and other official Colorado youth organizations in the area who otherwise would not have the opportunity to come to the CU Boulder campus and experience a Buffs game. RKR and CKR are geared towards underrepresented youth (low income, at risk, first generation, students of color, non-traditional students, etc.)

The University of Colorado Athletic Department along with IBM is promoting the importance of reading and is proud to present Read with the Buffs; a reading incentive program geared toward 2nd-4th grade students. As part of the program, CU student-athlete(s) make a visit to each participating school for a classroom visit. Those elementary school students that complete the program are invited to celebrate their achievements at a CU game!
