A Charity Fund for Animal Care
Founded by University of Colorado Boulder Quarterback, Julian “JuJu” Lewis
Coco Cares is a heartfelt charitable initiative created to help animals in need of urgent medical care — inspired by the true story of JuJu Lewis and his dog, Coco.
Coco recently faced a serious health crisis that required emergency veterinary treatment for severe dehydration, blood loss, and digestive issues. Thanks to quick action and compassionate care, she’s now on the road to recovery.
Deeply moved by Coco’s fight and the dedication of her veterinary team, JuJu launched this fund in partnership with Humane Colorado to support families facing similar emergencies — especially those unable to afford life-saving treatment for their pets.
By sharing Coco’s journey, JuJu hopes to raise awareness and provide critical support — so more animals can receive the care they desperately need, when they need it most.
Every donation makes a difference. Thank you for your support.
