Wide Receiver Emmanuel Sanders is continuing to use the power behind his
athletic success to better the community by hosting the second annual Emmanuel Sanders’ A Night to Catch Flight on Tuesday, June
12th at Jet Linx Denver. Emmanuel Sanders’ A Night to Catch Flight will
benefit the Emmanuel Sanders Foundation, whose mission is to provide children
from financially disadvantaged families with resources and support to reach
their full potential and attain a better life.
On June 12th,
Sanders and his Denver Broncos teammates will step off the football field and
into a private jet hangar to mix and mingle with more than 150 supporters of
Emmanuel’s foundation, Denver’s charitable community and Denver Broncos fans. Guests
will enjoy a high-spirited cocktail reception sponsored by 5280 Magazine, fine cuisine, exciting live and silent auctions and
luxury cars and private aircrafts.
Proceeds from
Emmanuel Sanders’ A Night to Catch Flight will help financially disadvantaged
kids in Denver reach new heights as Emmanuel continues his community impact
through his Gear Up and Emmanuel’s Locker community outreach programs. Both
community outreach programs provide financially disadvantaged boys and girls
with sporting equipment as well as resources and supplies for students
participating in after-school sports who may not have access to some of the
sporting equipment they need to participate, and/or succeed in after-school
sports programs.
Last year
proved to be a successful year for Emmanuel and his foundation. In August 2017,
Emmanuel rallied the support from five of his teammates and two of his coaches
to raise over $80,000 to provide assistance to those who were affected by
Hurricane Harvey. In November 2017, Emmanuel provided 15 deserving kids with all
new adidas sports equipment so that they can participate in sports. In December
2017, Emmanuel partnered with Lids for a holiday collection to provide winter clothing,
toys and books for children and families in need.
Emmanuel’s efforts off-the-field were recognized as well as he was named the Week 12 NFLPA Community MVP which recognizes an NFL player who is making a positive impact in their local communities. Additionally, Emmanuel was presented with the Denver Broncos Community Ambassador award for his commitment to the community.
To help
Emmanuel Sanders and his foundation reach new heights, sponsorships and tickets
