Too often professional sports teams are remembered for the off-field antics of their players (DUI, domestic abuse, careless driving), controversies on the field (Will Peyton Manning deliver the goods?) or their recent record as a team (Colorado Rockies, Denver Broncos, and Colorado Avalanche).
Seldom is attention given to the contributions professional sports teams make in their community.
On April 21, the Denver Broncos hosted the Recycling Round Up, their 2012 drive to collect electronic equipment and keep harmful electronic waste out of local landfills. Attendees received a Broncos magazine, with Randy Gradishar’s autograph, and a short list of tips for reducing waste (power down electronics, limit your water, maintain proper tire pressure, use natural light when it is available, and carpool when possible). The event was a success, based on the streamlined process for quickly collecting stacks of computers, monitors, printers, and keyboards.
Like many major corporations the Denver Broncos and the other major professional sports teams are solid corporate citizens. For information about their local contributions go to their websites and click on the out the community tab or click the links below.
