Dec 15, 2022, 3:49 PM

It’s been a tough first year as owners of the Denver Broncos for the Walton-Penner Group on the field, but off the field the new owners are showing they’re going to be great community partners!

The Colorado School of Mines Orediggers are headed to their first championship game in the school’s 131-year football history and the Broncos ‘were team president Damani Leech, wanted to do something special for the Mines program. The Broncos’ ownership group of Greg Penner, Carrie Penner and Rob Walton were so taken with the idea, they donated $100,000 to Mines to help offset student transportation costs to the championships game against Ferris State that will be played Saturday (11 a.m. kickoff, ESPNU) in McKinney, Texas.
