The Broncos have pledged $150,000 to Rose Andom Center, which will provide services to domestic violence victims.
The center is scheduled to open next summer in Denver.
Although the issue of domestic violence was brought to the forefront in recent months by the Ray Rice case, the team’s partnership with Rose Andom has been in the works for more than a year.
“There is no place for domestic violence in our society,” Broncos President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Ellis said in a statement. “It’s a very serious issue that affects so many, including children, and it deserves the extensive resources that the Rose Andom Center will provide to make a difference.”
The Rose Andom Center will create a new vision for providing services to domestic violence victims by facilitating better access to services and staff of community organizations and government agencies in a single, safe location. Its goal is to co-locate staff and crucial services in one place to reduce the number of places victims must go to access services, increasing the likelihood that victims will successfully utilize all available resources.
