The University of Colorado Athletic Department Receives $4.75 Million Donation
Per Colorado.edu:
Louise Bennett Reed, who passed away at age 103 last June, gave gifts totaling more than $4.75 million for University of Colorado at Boulder athletic scholarships, making her the largest individual donor to the CU-Boulder Athletics department.
The gifts will benefit the Louise Bennett Reed Scholarship Fund for football and men's and women's basketball, funding as many as 10 full scholarships each year in those sports in perpetuity.
Thank you Louise! Rest in Peace and Go Buffs!

wow
Absolutely RIP Louise, I just wish that CU would get more donors to help out the school since they are so limited by the state in other areas.
That is incredible
Its a shame that it takes a death to bring good news, but that is wonderful news. RIP Louise, and thank you!
