“The Colorado Rockies Foundation has been a tremendous partner of and advocate for the 16,000 athletes of Special Olympics Colorado for many years, raising critical funds and awareness for our talented athletes and life-changing programs,” said President and CEO of Special Olympics Colorado, Megan Scremin. “Thank you to the Rockies, PNC Bank and AT&T SportsNet for sharing your phenomenal platform to showcase the power of inclusion during the 2022 Charity Night and always, go Rockies!”
