CU-Boulder athletes and coaches will deliver Buffalo Hugs pillows to Boulder Community Hospital on Tuesday, Dec. 12, continuing a program launched this fall to comfort young patients during medical or dental visits.

The delivery of 180 Buffalo Hugs will be made at 12:15 p.m. at the Boulder Community Hospital lobby, 1100 Balsam Ave.

The hospital staff will use the Buffalo Hugs to comfort youngsters who are in particular distress during a visit to the emergency room or a stay in the hospital. The Buffalo Hugs are black and gold 19-inch fleece pillows embroidered with the CU Buffalo logo.
