CU-Boulder students will deliver 50 Buffalo Hugs pillows to children at Dental Aid and the San Juan/Broadway PeopleÂ’s Clinic in Boulder on Wednesday, Dec. 6, continuing a program begun this fall to comfort young patients during visits to the dentist or doctor.

Deliveries of 25 Buffalo Hugs each to the Dental Aid Boulder Clinic, 4155 Darley Avenue, Suite C, and the San Juan/Broadway PeopleÂ’s Clinic, 3100 34th St., will be at 9:30 a.m. at Dental Aid and at 10:15 a.m. at the PeopleÂ’s Clinic.

Dental Aid provides low-cost dental care at clinics in Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette and Broomfield for more than 800 children from low-income families each year. The People's Clinic provides high-quality health care for those who lack the financial, social or cultural resources to obtain care elsewhere. Low-cost pediatric care is provided to hundreds of children each year.

Hugs will be given to children who are in particular distress and that the caregivers at the organizations feel are in need of extra comforting. The Buffalo Hugs are black and gold 19" fleece pillows embroidered with the CU Buffalo logo.
