The credit union pledged $1,000 for every interception the Broncos defense nabbed this season, plus an additional $5,000 for each pick-six.

“I love that Ent Credit Union is connecting the success of our amazing defense to its efforts to support kids in Colorado,” Nix said. “Those “Ent”-erceptions are paying off in a big way for a great cause and seeing it all come together like this has been an amazing experience. I’m grateful and excited to partner with Ent and to use our platform to do something bigger than football.”

The program raised $38,000 overall to help Children’s Colorado continue providing world-class care to children in need.

“The fans have been hyped this year every time we get an “Ent”-erception,” said Pat Surtain II, Broncos Cornerback and NFL Defensive Player of the Year. “You can feel the environment in the stadium shift. It’s created some great conversations and buzz. Knowing what happens on the field is benefiting children off the field, is impactful.”

While in Colorado Springs, Nix also made a stop at the Ent Service Center on Interquest, where he met with credit union members and staff.

“We are grateful to Bo, Pat, and the team for joining forces with us this season to amplify how we give back,” said Annie Snead, Executive Director of Philanthropy and Community Relations. “This is a huge part of why we partner with the Broncos — to serve more Coloradans together.”
