Kroenke Sports Charities

Kroenke Sports Charities is committed to improving lives through the spirit and power of sports. We strive to serve our community through education, health and fitness initiatives, athletic programs, and direct aid, with the particular purpose of helping families, children, veterans, and the disabled. Kroenke Sports Charities provides relevant programs and support, directly and with other nonprofit organizations, to ultimately assist, encourage, and enrich the lives of those in need.

Throughout the year, Kroenke Sports Charities hosts several fundraising events, hosted by our team players, coaches, management, alumni, ice girls and mascot Bernie. The fun filled events give our sponsors and fans a chance to meet our teams in a casual setting. Proceeds benefit the Community Programs at Kroenke Sports Charities.

giveSPORTS Equipment Drive

Join us on Saturday, September 26, from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. for the 15th Annual giveSPORTS Equipment Drive in the RAV4 Parking Lot (located between 9th and 11th Streets, and between Chopper Circle and Auraria Parkway).

In partnership with A Precious Child, the Colorado Avalanche and Kroenke Sports Charities invite the community to help support underserved youth by donating new or gently used sports equipment. Access to extracurricular sports can have a lasting positive impact on a young person’s educational, emotional, behavioral, and physical well-being.

Donations of equipment from all sports are welcome. The greatest need is for equipment used in:

  • Basketball
  • Hockey
  • Lacrosse
  • Soccer
  • Football
  • Baseball
  • Softball
  • Volleyball

Please note that uniforms and clothing cannot be accepted.

Additional event details will be announced soon.
