Denver Broncos donate $100K to support Colorado School of Mines transport

Before the Walton-Penner ownership group even was a figment of imagination, the Denver Broncos had a history of giving to Colorado communities, through both individual players and the organization as a whole.

The Walton-Penner group just added to that generous history with a huge gift to the Colorado School of Mines.

The Orediggers were on the receiving end of a $100,000 donation by the Broncos to transport students to the Division II championship game in McKinney, Texas. This is the first appearance by the school in the championship game in the football program’s 131-year existence.

“It’s absolutely fantastic what our organization has done for the students,” said Denver head coach Nathaniel Hackett. “I played D-II football, so I absolutely love that whole playoff and the whole system. It’s their first national championship, and they’re scoring all the points. Coach [Brandon] Moore has done a great job and very excited to see them go there and the students to be able to go and support.”

The Colorado School of Mines will play Ferris State on Saturday, December 17, at 11 am on ESPNU.
