DENVER -- The Rockies’ #StayAtHomeOpener raised $502,425 for food charities, the club announced Tuesday.

On Friday, the original date for the home opener, the club showed a telecast on rockies.com and AT&T SportsNet that melded the best innings from home openers in Rockies history -- from Eric Young’s home run in the team’s first at-bat at Mile High Stadium to Dante Bichette’s 14th-inning shot to beat the Mets in the game that christened Coors Field in 1995.

Fans were invited to give, with the Colorado Rockies Foundation matching contributions up to $300,000. First baseman Daniel Murphy and his family donated $100,000 on the heels of his $100,000 donation Thursday to initiatives that help Minor League players and their families. Outside of contributions from the Murphys and the team, the event raised $102,425 through 1,134 online donations.

The online fundraiser to benefit food banks in Colorado and Wyoming was called “Feed the Rockies,” with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Care & Share Food Bank for Southern Colorado, Community Food Share, Food Bank for Larimer County, Food Bank of the Rockies and Weld Food Bank, all of which serve people throughout Colorado and Wyoming during this time of significant need.

Rockies owner Dick Monfort lauded the success of the effort in a video tweet Friday night:

Monfort’s statement concluded, “Thank you to all of you that made a donation to 'Feed the Rockies.' The food will go a long ways to help people that really need a lot of help. So thanks again, enjoy your weekend. Make sure you stay home and shelter.

“We’ve gone this long. Let’s kick this thing in the butt. God bless you all, and we’ll see you soon at Coors Field.”
