Mission: Nonprofit Partners & Beneficiaries

The Elevations Credit Union Buffalo Bicycle Classic dates back to 2003, having raised over 4.1 million dollars in support of student scholarships at CU Boulder. The students served by the BBC are some of Colorado’s brightest; each entering CU with over a 4.0 high school GPA. These student scholars also demonstrate strong financial need, which makes this scholarship particularly important. Our $12,000 scholarship to these promising students makes higher education attainable. The generous support of sponsors, volunteers, and riders has made a difference in the lives of over 425 students in the last nineteen years.
