Former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning shared a message of encouragement to Coloradans on the team’s official Twitter page on Friday afternoon.
“These times are certainly hard for everyone,” Manning said. “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.”
The Broncos have donated $500,000 to the Colorado COVID Relief Fund and team president of football operations/general manager John Elway has personally donated $50,000 to the fund.
Denver safety Justin Simmons made a $10,000 donation to the Denver Public Schools Foundation’s Food Security Fund and kicker Brandon McManus donated 20,000 meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies.
The Broncos also donated 100,000 meals to the food bank and the team held a Personal Protective Equipment Drive at Empower Field at Mile High earlier this month.
