Sports are on hold for now; while the Denver Broncos won't be stepping onto the practice field for a while, they are stepping up to help their community and those who have been affected by COVID-19. 

According to a press release, Governor Jared Polis made the following statement thanking the NFL team for its donation of $500,000 to the Colorado COVID Relief Fund.

'On behalf of the State of Colorado, it is my pleasure to thank the Denver Broncos and John Elway for their generous donations to the COVID-19 Relief Fund,' said Colorado Governor Jared Polis. 'Year after year, Coloradans have supported our Denver Broncos, and today I am beyond proud to thank the Denver Broncos for their support of Coloradans in our time of need.'
