Peyton Manning, Brandon Stokley donate blood at Children’s Hospital Colorado

Former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and wide receiver Brandon Stokley donated blood at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and wide receiver Brandon Stokley donated blood at Children’s Hospital Colorado on Thursday. Manning and Stokley were teammates with the Indianapolis Colts (2003-06) and again in Denver (2012).

Manning also made a donation to HelpColoradoNow.org and he donated 500 meals for healthcare workers and first responders who work at the Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital in St. Vincent Indianapolis.

“These times are certainly hard for everyone,” Manning said in a video message to Coloradans last month. “But I want to encourage you all to keep a positive attitude and to help your fellow Coloradans in need.

“You can volunteer, donate blood, or join me by making a contribution at HelpColoradoNow.org. Colorado needs your help more than ever. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay at home.”

Manning, 44, retired from the NFL after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos. He will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame next year.
