Coach Collins Will Honor Rockies Co-Owner Charlie Monfort at the Event
Denver, CO (April 24, 2017) – Northern Colorado Head Football Coach Earnest Collins, Jr. will once again join the head football coaches from around the state in the name of charity. The 10th Annual Colorado Coaches for Charity will be held on Friday, May 12th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. More than 300 guests will be in attendance.
All of the head football coaches from the Colorado universities will share the stage with Coach Collins: Mike Bobo (Colorado State), Troy Calhoun (Air Force Academy), Mike MacIntyre (Colorado) and John Wristen (CSU-Pueblo). Each will bring their supporters to Denver to help raise money for their respective charities. Money is also raised during the evening to help sponsor single-parent children attend Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) summer camps. Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway serves as a Co-Chairman of the event.
Additionally, each coach honors his annual recipient of Jerry D. McMorris Community MVP Award. Coach Collins' 2017 Award honoree is Colorado Rockies Co-Owner Charlie Monfort, the Greeley native who helped bring the state its first Major League Baseball team in 1993.
The event is sponsored annually by the Fisher DeBerry Foundation, which is led by Hall of Fame and legendary former Air Force Falcons Head Football Coach Fisher DeBerry. The Foundation supports children of single-parent families.
"It's hard to believe that we're celebrating our tenth year already," said DeBerry. "But the money that the coaches have raised for charity speaks to their heart, and their level of commitment to the people of Colorado. We are blessed to have coaches here that use their platform to help others."
Proceeds raised from the event are split between the coaches' charities. Coach Collins has once again chosen the Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County as his beneficiary.
Tables and individual tickets are still available, though the evening is nearly sold out. The more tickets and tables purchased by fans of each school, the more money that will go towards that particular coach's charity.
