Q&A with a Broncos Cheerleader

January 2nd, 2013 - 12:53pm by cheerleadersOther posts by

Happy New Year Broncos Country!

My name is Chelsie, and this is my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader! I am one of three girls on the team from Minnesota and I am loving this season. What better way to bring in the New Year than with a playoff game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on January 12th!?

During my first year on the team, there have been so many new opportunities I have experienced and memories I will never forget! One of my favorite things about being a Denver Broncos Cheerleader is being able to interact with the fans and make a difference in their lives!

I thought I would write my blog a little differently, and make it more of a Q&A! As a cheerleader, we are always asked so many questions about our job and what it’s like being a cheerleader. I have come up with a few questions that I have been asked most frequently from fans I have met at appearances and during games this season!

Hi Broncos fans! My name is Toni G., and this is my first season as a Denver Broncos Cheerleader.

I moved to Denver this past spring from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made! As a Denver Broncos Cheerleader, I’ve found the perfect combination of my two biggest passions in life: dancing and making a difference in the lives of others. Not only do we get to perform at games, but we also have countless opportunities to work in the community at different charities and events.

Recently, I was lucky enough to attend the Holiday Fair at The Gathering Place in Downtown Denver with my fellow DBC, Margaret. The Gathering Place is a daytime drop-in center for women, their children, and transgender individuals who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. They provide meals, housing, and access to a laundry facility, among other services such as mental health counseling and GED preparation.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Happy Holidays Broncos fans! Did you all see Knowshon Moreno’s hurdle over the Ravens player in the Baltimore game yesterday?!? Clearly our boys are here to play this holiday season. Keep up the cheering, we have some important games coming up for the team!

My name is Margaret and I have been enjoying my third season with the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. During this time of year, our squad is constantly inspired by Broncos fans as we rekindle some annual relationships in the community.

This weekend was no different. I spent time at The Gathering Place, wishing many families a happy holiday season. I loved seeing so many ladies in Denver excited about the Broncos! Our annual performance and visit to Craig’s Hospital was a wonderful blessing and we met some remarkable patients who were Broncos fans through and through. Three previous patients of Craig’s Hospital partnered up with a few of our cheerleaders to perform a wonderful holiday routine. The grace that the gentleman had in their movement and the innovative choreography with their equipment put a smile on everyone’s face and showed us all that there really are no limits in what can be done.

Cheerleaders Reflect on Woodyard’s Toy Drive

December 14th, 2012 - 2:13pm by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country!

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season so far. Despite the recent cold weather, this is most definitely my favorite time of the year!

My name is Kara and this is my second year as a DBC. This season has been so exciting and full of amazing memories so far. This past Monday night added to these memories as I was able to share being a part of an incredible cause with a few of my teammates. Wesley Woodyard hosted the Third Annual 16Ways Foundation’s Toy Drive. The event aimed to collect as many toys as possible that will be given to children that otherwise would not receive gifts on Christmas.

Cheerleaders Proud of Junior Program

December 13th, 2012 - 9:05am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Did you know that the Junior Denver Broncos Cheerleaders program is made up of over 600 girls ages 6 to 14?! Yes that’s right, 600! You have probably seen them perform during pregame or halftime at some of the Denver Broncos home games, but the work that the JDBC does to prepare for the game happens long before they run out onto the field.

Cheerleaders Appreciate Miles

December 11th, 2012 - 2:08pm by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country! My name is Tristan and this is my second year on the team. What a season so far — the Cheerleaders have had such a great time at the home games and at all of the events in the community this season!

I wanted to blog today about Miles. He is a mascot that is near and dear to our hearts. He is hands down the best mascot in the NFL, heck perhaps of all time (and I speak from a purely unbiased view). The Cheerleaders all get very excited when we have events with Miles. We get to ride in the Miles Mobile (a tricked out van that is equipped with a TV, curtains, tinted windows, and painted in Broncos blue and orange) and watch Miles work his magic with the Broncos fans we visit.

Cheerleaders Help the Hungry on Thanksgiving

November 26th, 2012 - 10:14am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hey Broncos Fans!

I’m Katie W. and this is my second year on the team. This time of year is my favorite for three reasons — family, friends and football!

This Thanksgiving I spent the day with some family members, friends and fellow Cheerleader Toni D., assembling over 3,000 meals to pass out to the less fortunate. I could not have asked for a more perfect way to spend the Holiday!

Rosa Linda’s is the local restaurant that graciously opened their doors to host the event. I have never seen more selfless, caring individuals come together and work hard to assure everyone in need had a meal. I was also blown away by the gratitude of those individuals receiving meals that I was able to interact with. This was a very special day for Toni and I.

There are so many things I am thankful for but especially for everyone I met on Thursday who made a special impact on my life. I am also extremely thankful to be a part of the Broncos organization and to make a difference in the community through their graciousness.

I hope everyone has a safe and healthy Holiday season.

Go Broncos!

Katie W.

Cheering for our Troops

November 20th, 2012 - 10:25am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country! My name is Sam and this is my third season as a member of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. It’s also my second season as an instructor for our Junior Denver Broncos Cheerleaders (JDBC) program. I wanted to share something very special with all of you about the way that our young cheerleaders (ages 6-14) are making waves of difference in the lives of others.

As you all may know, this past Sunday, November 18th, was a home game against the San Diego Chargers and an exciting victory! Not only did we continue our winning streak, but the Broncos have now secured a big lead in the AFC West. That’s Mile High Magic at its very best!

The game was also extremely important to our organization in another special way. Sunday was our Salute to Service game honoring all the men and women that have served and those who are currently serving our country both at home and overseas. The Denver Broncos are strong supporters of all the individuals that put their lives on the line to protect our country, and one way that our cheerleading team gives back is by holding an annual drive called Cheer for the Troops.

Cheerleader Reflects on Visit to Fort Carson

November 15th, 2012 - 9:30am by cheerleadersOther posts by

Hi Broncos Country!

Tuesday will be a day I remember forever as several of us had the incredible opportunity to participate in a special visit to Fort Carson Army Base in Colorado Springs, presented by USAA. In honor of the Broncos’ military appreciation efforts and the NFL’s Salute to Service taking place in November, Broncos players Ben Garland and Chris Gronkowski, cheerleaders Kim, Toni G., Toni D., Chelsie and I (Katie K.), Miles the Mascot, Broncos Alumni Randy Gradishar and Reggie Rivers and even Broncos President Joe Ellis spent time with our troops in Colorado Springs!

Our day started at Patriot Elementary School where the cheerleaders helped Miles with his Fuel Up to Play 60 show, a presentation teaching kids about the importance of eating healthy and staying active. The kids were engaged and full of energy, and at one point all 680 of them were chanting “Broncos! Broncos! Broncos!” It was like music to our ears!
