Limited Number Of Tickets Still Available For CU's Annual Ski Ball

53rd annual event set for Saturday, October 14
BOULDER — The 53rd annual University of Colorado Ski Ball, the major fundraiser for CU's national championship caliber ski team, is fast approaching and tickets are still available for the event.
The black-tie optional gala, billed as CU's premier party of the year, features dinner and dancing, along with an exclusive silent auction. The event is annually a "Who's Who" in both CU and the state of Colorado skiing circles.
The night will include the presentation of CU's Mountain of Honor recognition to longtime CU head coach Richard Rokos, who coached the team to eight national championships during his 31-year career before retiring after the 2021 season.
In addition, the evening's "Letter C" recipients will be honored in the late Sandy Shellworth Hildner and Clare Wise. The program recently created the program to recognize those who skied for the Buffaloes but didn't qualify under previous criteria to officially letter (in Hildner's case, she skied for CU well before women's skiing was a varsity sport).
This year's event is set for Saturday, October 14 at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield. The cost to attend begins at just $175 per person, rising incrementally to other donation and sponsorship levels. A limited number of individual tickets remain, along with corporate tables and benefactor opportunities.
All proceeds will be invested in skiing student-athletes, providing them with the resources to win NCAA Championships as well as their individual desires to become professionals, on and off the slopes. There are several ski-specific endowments people can donate to, such as the Jimmie Heuga Scholarship Fund, the Spencer James Nelson Memorial Fund, the Richard Rokos Endowed Ski Program Support Fund and the Bill Marolt Endowment.
The evening's entertainment will be provided by the Rick Lewis Project, headlined by Rick, the morning DJ on 103.5 FM the FOX and the color analyst on Denver Bronco radio broadcasts. In recent years, they have opened for some world-renowned musical groups including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael Franti & Spearhead and the Wall Flowers, among many others.
