Broncos donate more than 15,000 football helmets to Colorado high schools
The Denver Broncos Foundation and team ownership has made a huge donation of football helmets to all 277 Colorado high schools, the team announced Tuesday. The initiative, titled "ALL IN. ALL COVERED," is the largest philanthropic donation in franchise history, consisting of 15,516 Riddell Axiom smart helmets at no cost to every high school football program in the state. 'The Denver Broncos Foundation is proud to launch ALL IN. ALL COVERED, a game-changing program designed to have a lasting impact on Colorado youth for years to come,' Broncos co-owner Carrie Walton Penner in a statement. According to the team's press release, schools will receive 25% of the donated helmets each year of the program (2025-2028) based on the average roster size of their team's classification, from six-man football all the way up to 5A. "The Riddell Axiom helmet smart was carefully selected as the helmet of choice for this program due to its safety and performance features," read the statement. "The Axiom features Riddell's TRU-FIT™ SYSTEM, which uses 3D imaging of each athlete's head for a personalized fit and protection system to improve impact response. It also comes standard with InSite Smart Helmet Technology for impact sensing and reporting." The start of the helmet rollout will begin in May, and continue all the way to the beginning of the 2025 high school football season.

Broncos donate more than 15,000 Ridell Axiom helmets to Colorado high-school football teams
The Denver Broncos have made an unprecedented gesture in support of high-school football throughout Colorado. The Broncos, working with helmet manufacturer Riddell, have arranged for 15,516 Riddell Axiom helmets to be available to all 277 high-school football programs through the state. They're calling it: 'All In. All Covered.' The idea arose from a Denver Broncos Foundation Board Meeting in August 2024. The goal was and is 'to reduce barriers of participation in football while improving health and safety.' It's a four-year program, with the Axiom selected due to its overall safety and performance features. Per the Broncos' press release, 'The Axiom features Riddell's TRU-FIT SYSTEM, which uses 3D imaging of each athlete's head for a personalized fit and protection system to improve impact response. It also comes standard with InSite Smart Helmet Technology for impact sensing and reporting.' The effort will cost nearly $12 million, with the money coming from the Denver Broncos Foundation. It's an impressive gesture, which perhaps will be copied in the other states that professional football teams call home.
