Yeah, the program just celebrated our 17 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 3: one year anniversary. So over the course of four years, 18 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos Foundation will provide more than fifteen thousand 19 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: brand new Redell Axiom helmets to cover every single high 20 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 3: school tackle football program in the state. And so for 21 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 3: such a large scale, unprecedented initiative, we're really fortunate to 22 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: have the support internally to put together a full documentary 23 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: of that first year, so from the project concepts to implementation, 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: touring the Riddell factory, the reasoning behind it and how 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: it's really impacting the game was the goal of the 26 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: program so that we could bring that wider to Broncos country. 27 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 4: Hey, Alis Shelby here, I hope you're doing well.

This is a 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 4: huge deal. What jump started this initiative? What made the 37 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 4: Broncos really just decided this is a big deal that 38 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: they need to get in front of and really help 39 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: out their neighbors around the Denver Metro. 40 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's such a great question, and the concept really 41 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 3: came to life in a Broncos Foundation board meeting and 42 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: we're very fortunate to have the leadership of Greg and 43 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: Carry Penner, who across the table looked at the board 44 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: and said, what would it take to equip every single 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 3: high school football player in the state with a new helmet. 46 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: We know that concerns around player safety and concerns around 47 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: access to equipment or two of the biggest barriers for 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: high schoolers looking to play the sport, and so if 49 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: we could remove that cost barrier and support players with 50 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: an up to date helmet across the entire state, we 51 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: were hoping to be able to make an impact on 52 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: participation numbers and health and safety and really level the 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 3: playing field for programs throughout all of Colorado. 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: What's been the response so far from the schools from 55 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: the community with this effort, It's. 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: Been really positive and we've had the opportunity to travel 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: the state. Bobby Messis our director of Youth in High 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: School Football nine visit towns from Durango to Fort Morgan, Pueblo. 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: We were in Grand Junction earlier this week meeting with 60 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: coaches and administrators there. For a program that has true 61 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: statewide impact, we really hit the ground to make sure 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: that we're also visiting instead of just donating. So I 63 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 3: have a lot of touch points in the metro area 64 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 3: and we're very fortunate to have so many schools in 65 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: that area. But this program allowed us to go out 66 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 3: on the road and so being those coaches, administrators, players 67 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: for the first time being a part of their fitting equipment, 68 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: inviting them to empower field for our city championship highlights 69 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: on the field. This has just given us such a 70 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: greater relationship building opportunity with high school program and something 71 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 3: that we're really proud to be a leader in this 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: base one. 73 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: You know my last question for you, La, and I 74 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: think it sort of plays into your latest response. It's 75 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: often because we're one of them. You hear about, well, 76 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: the big schools they get everything, they get a chance 77 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: to play their state championship game used to be an 78 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: empower field and some of the lower level classification schools don't. 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: I think one of the things that makes this Partectionarer 80 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: program so cool is that it touches every single school 81 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: in the state in an area that is so needed. 82 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: And Shelby asked a question about what prompted it, But 83 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 2: I can tell you as a high school coach to 84 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: go out and you have to, you have to you 85 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: have an allocation most schools do in terms of budgets, 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: but you got to go out and raise money and equipment, 87 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,559 Speaker 2: football equipment and in particular helmets are so expensive these days. 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: But again, every school benefits from this program. 89 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was the goal from the beginning, and honestly, 90 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: the nod to the name of All in it was 91 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: important that all schools were covered in that. So with 92 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 3: two hundred and seventy seven high schools playing tackle football 93 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: in the state, and so from public to private, from 94 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 3: six man to five A, every single school is included 95 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 3: because the need is at every single school. So even 96 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: those schools and just shirts that have larger ptas or 97 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: opportunities for fundraising, there are still players and there are 98 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: still budgets that can be positively impacted by this, and 99 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 3: really the trickle down effect of that is what makes 100 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: us so excited over the next couple of years. So 101 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 3: we've had schools across the state that have added girls 102 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: flag football because they've saved money on purchasing helmets for 103 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 3: the next four years. We have schools looking to renovate 104 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: their weight rooms that could that would serve really all 105 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: student athletes in the school. So while it's a football 106 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: centered program, there is this ripple effect that is impacting 107 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 3: every single high school athlete across the state. 108 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Again, All in all covered the Dever Broncos documentary Protecting 109 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: the Game will debut locally tomorrow and I in channel 110 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: nine to six o'clock and then it's going to re 111 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: air Sunday this Sunday at nine point thirty on KTDV KTVD. 112 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: There you go, I can speak and of course on Sunday, 113 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: April twelfth, also you can find it on the Broncos 114 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: YouTube channel.
