The Mizel Institute is privileged to honor Joe Ellis, President & CEO of the Denver Broncos, with the 2021 Community Enrichment Award. This year’s celebration will be in conjunction with Colorado Remembers 9/11 20th Anniversary Commemoration and Tribute to the Heroes Concert featuring Kenny Loggins. We will honor our courageous service men and women and frontline workers who truly exemplify the unity, resilience, and strength of our community.
Some of the most memorable plays Joe Ellis and the Denver Broncos have made are the ones off the field. Through Joe’s leadership and the Denver Broncos’ engagement, they have enriched the lives of so many through championing causes that impact youth development, health and wellness, civic engagement, and more.
Governor Polis will lead the Remembrance Ceremony. There will be a procession of first responders, frontline workers, and the military, as well as memorial pipes and drums to open the ceremony. The Colorado National Guard will present military honors to include a seven-gun salute, Taps, and a military flyover. The Bell Tolls will be lead by the U.S. Navy.
Over the last four decades, Kenny Loggins has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and has won two Grammy Awards. His songs have left his musical imprint on “the soundtrack of our lives,” with chart-topping hits including “This Is It,” “I’m Alright,” “Footloose," “Danger Zone,” and so many more.
