Green Mountain Jr. Football Association is a youth football league serving kids 2nd-8th grade. We are part of the Green Mountain community, nestled within the city of Lakewood, and we are always looking for ways to give back. We want to teach our athletes that community is important and doing for those in need is a big part of being a team.
We choose to build up those around us and create a welcoming environment where our children and families can thrive. We might live in a big city, but it is more of a small-town feel where we foster core values like FAMiLY (Forget about me, I love you), a vision born from our high school football coach, Jesse German. It has been adopted by our beloved Ram Nation, and we choose to use that very thing to help those in need during the holiday season.
Last year, our inaugural year of the Giving Tree, we helped over 50 families have a magical and fulfilling Christmas, and we expect this year to be even bigger than before, with the addition of our wonderful sponsors; Westrail Tap & Grill, The Final Word Sports Radio, and Jimmy Suds Car Wash. We hope to give as many families as we can the opportunity to take away some of the financial burden of life and the holiday season and give some amazing kiddos a Christmas they won't forget.
If you want to participate in our toy drive, there are a few ways that you can help! You can donate money for our Elves to shop for each child specifically, select items from the store below, or please go to the Westrail Tap & Grill at 195 S. Union Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80228 anytime between Monday, November 27th through Sunday, December 17th, and take a tag labeled with the gift you would like to purchase.
Once you've purchased the gift, please return the tag and the unwrapped gift to Jimmy Suds Car Wash at 935 S. Kipling Pkwy. If you take a tag and return the gift there, you get a FREE Protect It car wash (value $20)! All tags and gifts need to be returned by Monday, December 18th in order to be distributed to families on Wednesday, December 20th!
If you have given in the past, THANK YOU for continuing to help spread Christmas joy to those in need.
