Bo Nix Brings Smiles to Children in Colorado Springs as Part of Broncos’ Unique Partnership With Ent Credit Union

Posted by Alyse Knudsen on March 3, 2025

The Denver Broncos’ stellar defensive efforts during the 2024 season were key to a successful run to the postseason – and a unique campaign with Ent Credit Union to support the patients and families of Children’s Hospital Colorado. On Feb. 19, that program culminated with a special visit to Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Springs by Broncos quarterback and Ent partner Bo Nix.

Nix joined members of the Broncos organization and Ent Credit Union team to visit with young patients, share words of encouragement, and present the funds raised through the “Ent-erceptions” program, a season-long initiative that turned critical defensive plays into meaningful impact off the field.

Ent pledged $1,000 for every interception by the Broncos’ defense this season and an additional $5,000 for each pick-six, when a defensive player intercepts the ball and returns it for a touchdown. Thanks to the team’s outstanding performance, the program raised an incredible $38,000 to help Children’s Colorado continue providing world-class care to children in need.

Nix, who is active in a growing number of service efforts, is deeply committed to giving back to the Colorado community he now calls home. He was grateful for the opportunity to represent the Broncos on behalf of this special partnership.

“I love that Ent Credit Union is connecting the success of our amazing defense to its efforts to support kids in Colorado,” Nix shared “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 fans have been hyped this year every time we get an ‘Ent-erception.’ 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,” said Pat Surtain II, Broncos Cornerback and NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

While in Colorado Springs, Nix made a special stop at the Ent Service Center on Interquest Parkway, where he met with credit union members and staff. He concluded the day with Ent’s leadership team, gaining insight into the Broncos Checking product and offering creative ideas for future opportunities.

“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, Ent’s Executive Director of Philanthropy and Community Relations. “This is a huge part of why we partner with the Broncos – to serve more Coloradans together.”

Bo Nix’s visit and the success of the “Ent-erceptions” program exemplify the power of community partnerships and the impact they can have on the lives of children and families. Through their combined efforts, Nix and Ent Credit Union continue to champion the importance of giving back and making a difference where it matters most.
