SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
PLEASE STAY SAFE & HEALTHY!!!
Special statement from the Pro Players Association(updated 06/13/21):
We’re thankful that we have been able to hold out through the pandemic, we however are still in need of financial contributions to continue operations to provide our fundraising activities and community service projects.
We continue to operate our online stores through eBay and Ecrater.
Thanks to Amazon who contributes donations to us when buyers shop through our nonprofit link(Shop at smile.amazon.com/ch/76-0714756 ).
At the present time we have postponed our "TACKLE CANCER" Celebrity Charity Golf Classic to benefit cancer research at the Anschutz Cancer Center at University of Colorado Medical Campus in Memory of Babe Parilli. Covid regulations at the course and low registration numbers due to the varying regulations contributed to the decision to postpone. New date to be announced for 2022.
We are in process of organizing the 2nd annual Rumble in the Rockies Motorcycle Officer Challenge.
We just received a new delivery of some incredible auction items, some in process of being customized and framed-up by Academy Frame Company, Colorado Springs, our official framers. See the slide show below for a preview.
We are actively searching for fundraising opportunities, now that events are slowly returning, we hope to start getting back to some normalcy in fundraising activities.
For those of you who are able to help us financially, below is a link with which you may make a tax-deductible contribution. All contributions are tax-deductible at present under the CARES Act. Donations accepted by credit or debit card below. Checks accepted paid to the order of Pro Players Association and sent to: PPA, P.O. Box 631806, Highlands Ranch, CO 80130.
Thank you for your generosity and support of the Pro Players Association.
Stay well and stay healthy!
