    BRONCOS PLEDGE $50,000 TO COLORADO WILDFIRE RELIEF EFFORTS

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Wednesday pledged to make a $50,000 donation to assist with relief efforts for the wildfires burning in Colorado, Owner Pat Bowlen announced.

    “On behalf of the Denver Broncos, I extend our deepest sympathies to those who have been affected by the devastating fires throughout Colorado and the region,” Bowlen said. “In particular, my thoughts are with those who have lost their homes or live in the evacuation areas.

    "I also would like to commend the dedication of the firefighters, medical personnel, volunteers and the numerous organizations that are working around the clock to respond to these tragedies. Their contributions are heroic, selfless and truly immeasurable.

    “This is our home, and we need to do whatever we can to take care of our neighbors. If at all possible, I encourage our fans to help however they can in providing relief during this time of need.”

    Somewhere, the Monforts just looked at the ceiling and started whistling.......

    Makes me proud too. However, $50,000 will last about two minutes fighting those fires. Wish it would have more for those people affected by it.

    This is a really dry season, we usually get more rain. A lot of places are canceling 4th of July fireworks already.......

    Mr. Bowlen is a good dude.
    Hopefully this will motivate Kroenke and Monforts to step up to the plate

    It's a commendable gesture but that's lunch money for Peyton Manning. The Broncos could do better.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    Depends on where that money goes. Over the weekend when it was burning totally uncontrolled, residents were dropping off supplies to the Red Cross evacuation centers directly. Monday the Red Cross requested that money be donated since they had enough supplies and the money would allow them to more efficiently replenish any supplies that got low. I'm sure $50k would go a long way with the Red Cross.

    I am proud to be a Springs residend with how this community came together during the first days of this fire.

    It's been a really dry 2 years! We've only gotten about 20% of the normal precipitation for those two years. Any forested area is the driest tinder just waiting for an excuse to catch fire.

    It's not surprising we've had the wild fires we have had in the state. This one is suspicious as there was absolutely no weather on Saturday to cause a fire. FBI is investigating. If it is arson I'd think it suitable that the arsonist be tied to a spite and slowly roasted over a fire for the same amount of time as this fire burns. Keeping him hydrated for a few weeks might be a little difficult though.

    Exactly. The Broncos aren't going to buy new homes for people. But 50,000 to red-cross supplies can go a long ways.
