Be a Champion in the Community Week

June 10th, 2012 - 8:19am by Cindy KelloggOther posts by

June 9th marked the end of the first of what is anticipated to be an annual Be a Champion in the Community Week — a full week of roster-wide community service, while asking the community to get engaged as well.

Saturday’s service projects included four Habitat for Humanity home builds, led by the likes of two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year Wesley Woodyard, and featuring new home owners Frank and Shiane Wilson, who are Habitat ambassadors in the Broncos’ new “Be A Champion in the Community” campaign.

Players also made visits to partner HealthONE Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children and to both locations of the Ronald McDonald House, spreading cheer and goodwill to patients and families.

Two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year Champ Bailey remained committed to the Denver Rescue Mission, serving meals alongside other Broncos players to residents of The Crossing and Lawrence Street Shelter.

Broncos players could be seen elsewhere in town bagging groceries at partner King Soopers and serving up orders at the McDonald’s drive-thru. Von Miller even gave fans special commemorative Broncos glasses to fans at Arby’s.

NFL Play 60 Kicks Off

Tuesday evening was another highly energetic and frenzied evening in the world of Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Kids from both Cope and Broncos branches had some very special visitors push them to the limits with the likes of King Pin, Dodge Ball, and yes, ZUMBA dancing.

Absolutely a fantastic sight to see the Denver Broncos’ own Virgil Green lighting it up on the dance floor as shocked teammates Eric Decker and Austin Sylvester and frenzied children tried to keep pace… Austin did give Virgil a run for his money though!

Sixth Annual Broncos Bowl Brings International Flavor To INVESCO Field

Saturday, August 1st, 2009, marked an historic day for youth football in Colorado when the Broncos welcomed a first-ever international youth team — the Panama Marlins –  to Broncos Bowl.  The Marlins kicked off the day with a hard fought win against the Denver Broncos Boys & Girls Club.  

The day advanced under bright Colorado sunshine with five more games:  Wheat Ridge Crushers vs. Broomfield Youth Football Spartans; Legacy Lightning vs. Green Valley Giants; Colorado Springs Boys & Girls Club Vikings vs. City of Fort Collins; Arapahoe Youth League Warriors Red vs. Aurora Crush; and Denver Public Schools Futures North Vikings vs. Pueblo Shamrocks. 

Every player that day experienced the feeling of running out of the tunnel to a formal introduction on the 50-yard line and then played a full game on an NFL home turf.  Fans were treated to some exciting play by these youngsters, including some near full-field touchdown runs.
