Colorado Rockies and PNC Bank announce Saves for Kids Program to benefit Denver Children's Foundation
DENVER – The Colorado Rockies and PNC Bank announced today a new program to make a difference for disadvantaged, at-risk youth in the Denver community called SAVES FOR KIDS. The Colorado Rockies Foundation with support from PNC will provide up to $20,000 to the Denver Children’s Foundation with a donation being made for every save the Rockies record at home during the 2024 season.
“This new program with PNC Bank and Denver Children’s Foundation expands on our existing relationship with PNC as they continue to grow their footprint in and around the Rocky Mountain region and throughout the Denver Metro Area,” said Rockies Vice President of Corporate Partnerships Walker Monfort. “The Denver Children’s Foundation is a game-changer and difference-maker for children in need in our community.”
The program aligns with PNC’s growing presence in Colorado and the bank’s commitment to making a difference in impactful and meaningful ways in the communities they serve. PNC also enjoys a multi-year naming rights sponsorship of the “PNC Press Club” with the Rockies at Coors Field.
“We’re pleased to partner with Denver Children’s Foundation on this program, and expand our relationship with the Rockies,” said Ryan Beiser, PNC regional president of Colorado.. “Programs like this make a positive impact in the communities we serve and underscores PNC’s position of being a leading national bank with local delivery.”
SAVES FOR KIDS will support Denver Children’s Foundation as it raises and distributes funds for Colorado-based children’s charities in areas of education, health and well-being, child advocacy and personal enrichment. The program expands on DCF’s long-standing community relationships with PNC Bank and the Rockies.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with PNC,” said Beau Jenkins, president of Denver Children’s Foundation. “It’s a winning partnership for the kids in our community who need our support more than ever.”
