Gibs Day. We had Giving Tuesday last week. The whole
season of giving going on, but this is a great
opportunity to donate to some of your favorite local nonprofits
at Colorado Gibbs dot org. One of those organizations asking
for your help during the holiday season is the Boys
and Girls Club of Metro Denvers. They're gearing up for
(00:20):
their Holiday Huddle and joining us in studio is Barb Payton.
She's the founder of The Thoughtful Pinch and the wife
of Denver Broncos General manager George Payton, which we're all celebrated.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We matched today, which I love.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I love it both of our little vintage Broncos gear
going on here. And Aaron Portius, she is the CEO of.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
The Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver. Ladies, thank
you so much for joining us this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yes, okay, so let's start with the Holiday Huddle because
we're talking fourth annual this year, which is crazy. But
Barb explain a little bit for those who may not
be aware of what this is all about, what this
event entails.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yes, so the Holiday Huddle consists of all the pro
sports teams in Colorado, so all the pro teams and
we haven't one.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
The summit is joining us this year.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And so all the gm WISE presidents, head coaches, we
are all getting together and we're going to help out
to raise the money for the Boys and Girls Club
of Metro Denver and help them with their holiday party.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
They're once a year holiday party, and.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So we're very excited to jump on board and help
them celebrate and have a wonderful holiday season.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Aaron, what does this party look like? What does this
mean for Boys and Girls Club?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And then what is just like the outpouring of support
and just the look of what it's like, because it
is truly a party for not just our teams, but
for the boys and girls that really count on events
like this.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Gina, It's an amazing night for kids and the anticipation
is half of the fun as they prepare for this
night where they're going to be able to have dinner,
they'll have snacks, and most important, they're able to bring
home toys for themselves and their loved ones.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Barb.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What do we see as some of the success stories,
Because the Denver Posts had a great article written about
just the holiday huddle in general. It really puts in
perspective you hear from some of these you know it,
it's emotional for everybody in the room when it comes
to this event.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yes, you're I mean, absolutely right. We just there's so
much joy.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
And one of the things that kind of just took
us aback the first time.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
We did it was these children.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
The children all were shopping with their points for these toys,
and they wanted to give them to somebody else, not
for themselves. And so then the next year we decided
we should wrap the gifts so that they.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Can give them to somebody, and that was that. It
was really fun.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's when you see like Chandra McFarland, she's tearing up because.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
She's trying to wrap these gifts.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
And just the thought of them giving it to somebody
else was just an amazing thing. That And Joe Zakic
did a great job wrapping gifts last year too.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
With his wife Deb That's a great story.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
One of the things that I've always appreciated about Boys
and Girls clubs just generally, and I'd love to hear
more in Denver, is just how many kids you help
and can you just talk about because this is not
a thing where there's like five kids you're helping. Boys
and Girls clubs are really significant endeavor. I wonder if
you could talk about that a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Russ.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Every year, forty thousand kids walking through the Boys and
Girls Clubs in Metro Denver when that school bell rings,
they're coming in, and then all summer long and then
needs great So to get a free dinner every night,
be able to participate on sports teams without any cost,
get that homework, help and just have fun and be
a kid. We know is so paramount, especially for families
that are struggling to get by.
Speaker 5 (03:28):

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Of that and Aaron, what give us a breakdown of like, okay,
if people gave fifty bucks, if people gave a hundred bucks,
where would this money go? Is there a good breakdown
of the things that you could use or things that really.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The children could benefit off of with that money.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Absolutely, Once you get on the website, you can see
the different things you can support. At the holiday huddle
that night, Barb's got a huge spreadsheet of all the
things that we're going to be able to do, but
we need the community support to come alongside us make
a really happy holiday for kids.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Or are there any moments that you remember, whether it's
Boys and Girls Club in general or holiday huddles that
you're like, if I have to encompass what this is
all about, I think of this one moment I.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Like, I said, just the joy of their faces when
they are choosing a gift a toy is I mean,
it just it warms your heart really obviously. And then
also just for the party, just having all the teams,
the sports teams and all of us women and their
husbands come and join us. It's just a fun atmosphere
(04:52):
and they just I can just tell everybody's having a
good time.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I think sometimes we do have to give you a
pat on the back of just the charity work of
our locals sports teams, because it's one thing to be like, wow,
we got some great sports teams here in Denver, but
then it's also all of their partners, all their wives
that also give back to the community. It's an awesome
and you guys all get along. It's like a huge
party with you guys too. It's just an opportunity for
all of you to get together and do the charity
