Denver Broncos spending down time making an impact

The Denver Broncos understand the value of community involvement as well as the influence and platform they have as a professional football team.

The Denver Broncos, as well as any team in the NFL, understand the platform they have as a professional football club.

Not only are the Broncos one of the league’s most storied franchises in terms of winning and setting the example on the field, they continue to impress with their actions and involvement in the community off the field.

It’s June, and OTAs have finished, which means the Broncos are now off until the start of training camp. But time off doesn’t mean the team won’t stay involved in the community.

Home Runs for a good cause

As Cameron Parker wrote, a number of players on the team participated in a Home Run Derby at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, which Andy Janovich won with an impressive (hard) swinging style.

After a personal donation from Casey Kreiter, the team and UC Health raised $100,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Matt & Sonja Russell become scholarship donors to CU

Broncos director of player personnel Matt Russell is a key factor behind the scenes for this Denver Broncos team as one of John Elway’s most trusted front office members, and he’s also a Colorado Buffaloes football legend.

The former All-American linebacker and his wife, Sonja — a former All-Big 12 volleyball player — have decided to become scholarship donors for the university where they made their athletic marks.

Both Matt and Sonja wanted to be able to give back and make an impact on a future generation of student-athletes the same way someone made an impact on them.

Phillip Lindsay visits military

Broncos Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay took some time to visit Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.

One of the best things these players can do is bless others with their presence. These are moments the servicewomen and men will never forget, along with their families. Having a star football player like Lindsay come out is absolutely awesome.

We know Juwann Winfree can run some routes. Now he’s going to teach at his first youth camp ever, which will be free entry.

All you need is a library card and you get hands-on training from a Broncos draft pick and a free t-shirt? Sounds like something I would want my kid to be doing over the Summer.
