During the 2011 season, the Broncos offensive line had even more reason to put defenders on their backs.

For every pancake block the line made last year, Zane Beadles donated $250 to Brent’s Place as part of his “Cakes for Cancer” program.

This Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to noon MDT, Beadles and his teammates are holding a Pancake Breakfast to benefit the Cakes for Cancer program even further, helping kids and families of Brent’s Place.

“This event is big for us,” Beadles said. “We’re going to try to raise a little bit of money, but the biggest thing about it is just trying to get the word out. Get people on board, companies on board, and get fans informed about the program. We want to have them be able to come in and interact with us.”

The event will include a pancake breakfast from Snooze, a photobooth by Bamboo Booth and a station to decorate cupcakes with D Bar Desserts along with facepainting, frame making, bounce castles and a few more surprises.

Tickets are still available — $50 for adults and $25 for kids age 12 and under.

Now the Broncos offensive line has even more reason to put defenders on their backs.

For every pancake block the offensive line makes this season, Zane Beadles will donate $250 to Brent’s Place as part of his “Cakes for Cancer” program.

Beadles’ inspiration for the program came while playing at the University of Utah, when he met a 7-year-old boy named Ryker, who was stricken with Glioblastoma Multiforme cancer.

The Utes adopted Ryker as a member of the team, but about a year later, he lost his battle with cancer.

“I knew I wanted to do something with cancer and something with kids,” Beadles said. “I just looked around the area and found Brent’s Place. I learned about them and what they do and it seemed like a perfect fit. That’s how it kind of came about.”
