BOULDER, Colo. -- Ralphie, the University of Colorado's buffalo mascot, now has a $41,000 trust fund.
Lifelong Colorado football fan Violet Stromberg, 96, left her life savings of $40,730 to create a fund to care for Ralphie. The CU Board of Regents unanimously accepted Stromberg's gift Thursday.
"This will provide growing support for Ralphie in perpetuity -- not only for this Ralphie but all future Ralphies,'' Colorado treasurer Judy Van Gorden said.
The Ralphie Fund will help pay for Ralphie's hoof trimmings, transportation, harnesses, ropes, vet bills and $1,500 a year in oats, alfalfa and grass.
