Bolles earned leaguewide recognition for his efforts along with large donations to his GB3 Foundation from the NFLPA ($100,000) and the Fanatics Foundation ($40,000), according to a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough my family\u2019s work with our GB3 Foundation, this mission is personal, and I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to use my platform to support kids and families in our community,\u201d Bolles said during a Tuesday news conference. \u201cThank you to the NFLPA for empowering players to make a difference beyond the game and for this incredible honor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bolles partnered with speech-language pathologist Jennie Bjorem this year to launch the \u201cB&B Apraxia Education Initiative\u201d and fund a training center in Parker. <\/p>\n
Their goal is to help families better understand and support children with speech or language-based differences. <\/p>\n
Bolles is inspired by his son, Kingston, who suffers from Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS), a disorder that can include difficulty controlling lips, jaws and tongues when speaking.<\/p>\n
Bolles earned previous recognition for his work with a juvenile mentorship program in Arapahoe County and regular visits to the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center. Those efforts continue today.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to encourage them (and) give them a why,\u201d Bolles told reporters Tuesday. \u201cGive them three things to work on every single day to better their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bolles is also the Broncos\u2019 nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award. It is considered the league\u2019s highest honor. The winner, announced at NFL Honors on Thursday, receives up to a $250,000 donation to the charity of his choice.<\/p>\n
Bolles scored a touchdown in the Pro Bowl Games on a 1-yard reception from Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The NFC beat the AFC, 66-52, in the flag football showcase.<\/p>\n
