Play It Forward Pledge Campaign Launched to Support Buffs Football & Basketball Student-Athletes Through 5430 Alliance

Boulder, CO (November 21, 2024) – 5430 Alliance, the official NIL Collective for CU Athletics, has launched the Play It Forward pledge campaign, giving Buff fans a new way to support CU basketball and football student-athletes. Fans can pledge financial contributions for wins, assists, sacks, or touchdowns for the remainder of their season. 

 

Play It Forwardallows Buff supporters to directly contribute to CU Football and Basketball student-athletes' Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities while celebrating the teams’ performances on the court and field. Whether it’s cheering for a big win, a game-changing assist, a Top 10 touchdown, or a crucial sack, fans can make an impact by pledging a set amount for each statistical category.  

 

“We’re excited to launch the Play It Forward pledge campaign, a unique opportunity for Buff fans to make a direct impact on the lives of CU student-athletes,” said Natalie Sharp, Executive Director of 5430 Alliance. “This initiative is all about celebrating the incredible performances of our basketball and football teams while helping to expand NIL opportunities for our athletes. Every win, assist, touchdown, and sack is a chance for our supporters to contribute to the growth of CU’s NIL program and create lasting opportunities for the student-athletes who give it their all every season. Play It Forward strengthens our community and ensures these athletes can continue to thrive both on the field and in their personal endeavors.” 

 

Fans can sign up for 5430 Alliance’s Play It Forward HERE and pledge any amount for every win, assist, touchdown, and sack recorded this season. With each milestone achieved during the season, fans will be notified of their contribution and the impact they are making on the student-athletes’ NIL earnings. 

 

The funds raised through the Play It Forward campaign will go directly to supporting the Buffs Basketball and Football players, helping to create more opportunities for them to engage with fans, create content, and receive compensation for their NIL activities.
