13TH ANNUAL SALUTE THE STARS

5/4/2011 2:01:00 PM

 

The 13th Annual Salute the Stars awards luncheon was held on Tuesday, May 3rd at INVESCO Field at Mile High Stadium.  Broncos QB Tim Tebow and Broncos first round draft pick, Von Miller joined John and Linda Lynch in honoring student-athletes and providing scholarships.

 

The event was held on the field and more than 1,000 people attended to assist the John Lynch Foundation in recognizing what is 'right' with our youth today.  The student-athletes, who excel in academics, athletics and community involvement, were escorted onto the field by the Denver Broncos cheerleaders and Miles the mascot.  During the awards presentation John asked Tim and Von to help him pass out the awards to the various winners.   Afterwards, the two rising Broncos stars took place in a Question and Answer session, moderated by John Lynch win which guests were able to ask the players questions of their own.

 

To date the John Lynch Foundation has awarded $371,000 in scholarships to 77 high school seniors and has awarded $55,000 in awards to student-athletes with special needs.  This year's event was the most successful to date as it generated more than $275,00 which will go to fund and sustain the Foundation's youth programs in Denver.
