Tuesday, Oct. 16 marked our annual NFL Hometown Huddle program in partnership with Mile High United Way. This year’s joint service project focused on kids’ fitness as part of the NFL Play :60 campaign, encouraging children to get at least 60 minutes of exercise in per day.
Tuesday was a perfect day for this. The skies were blue, the sun was shining and about 120 kids from Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver were raring to go as the Broncos and United Way introduced them to the fundamentals of football.
Players Brian Clark, Chris Myers, Domonique Foxworth and Brandon Marshall joined Ring of Fame Member Billy Thompson in hosting five different stations of the Gatorade Junior Training Camp, with each running a station that presented a different football skill for the kids to practice while getting exercise at the same time.
Brandon Marshall had his kids doing the infamous touchdown dance of their choosing after completing his drills. Will we see any of these dance renditions from Brandon on Sunday? He saw a lot of good material from which to choose.
The day was capped off by decadent ice cream treats from Cold Stone for all who participated. That may not exactly support the primary health and fitness message for the day, but it sure brought smiles to the kids’ faces and supported the notion that life is all about balance.
To Whom it May Concern:
I am a family friend of a young couple who are expecting their first offspring - and in their case the offspring are quadruplets.
Billy and Monica Graf are amazing Denver Bronco fans and find incredible ways to catch every game, despite having to relocate from Wichita, Kansas to Phoenix, Arizona. This move was necessary in order for Monica to be under the care of a multiple-birth specialist at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center.
Although they are situated over a thousand miles from home, the one constant of being able to cheer for the Broncos this fall has bound us all together. Despite being such a tangental part of their current situation, your organization has carried us through tentative times, as these four little ones are literally day to day.
I have given all of ten minutes of thought as to what it is I am asking for, but in any event would appreciate knowing if there is a Public Relations Department employee who I may be able to contact. As you may gather, we are unfortunately in Kansas City Chiefs’ territory and an act of goodwill from the Denver Bronco organization would mean the world to these two (or six), and may be of interest to the organization and/or to the team.
At the end of this message is a hyperlink to the couple’s web-based blog page, as well as their picture taken prior to the Pittsburg game last week. Perhaps a quick glance would familiarize you with their situation and inspire the organization to donate a small token of appreciation to these two people as a way to say thanks for being incredible and steadfast fans.
Thank you for your time, and any help is appreciated in advance. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information, as this is an important time in our family’s lives.
Sincerely,
Russ Ewy
