Wings Credit Union becomes first presenting sponsor of Denver Broncos iconic ThunderStorm tradition

New activation, Mile High Prize Drop, gives fans a chance to support Children's Hospital Colorado

DENVER – Wings Credit Union, previously Ent, is becoming the first presenting sponsor of ThunderStorm, the Denver Broncos iconic pregame parachute jump. The activation includes Wings Mile High Prize Drop, a new in-stadium experience that connects fan participation with support for Children's Hospital Colorado.

The campaign builds on Wings' philanthropic partnership with the Broncos, which has generated more than $50,000 for Children's Colorado since 2024. Previous giving through the partnership was tied to on-field performance. This season, fan participation will help determine the donation generated throughout the year.

"Over the past two seasons, our partnership with the Broncos has helped create meaningful support for Children's Hospital Colorado," said Annie Snead, Wings Credit Union vice president of community impact and Wings Credit Union Foundation executive director. "As we head into the 2026 season, we're excited to give fans a more active role in that effort while continuing to support children and families across Colorado."

For every fan who participates in Wings Mile High Prize Drop, Wings will donate $1 to Children's Colorado. All Broncos home game attendees will be invited to scan a QR code and participate in the in-stadium experience for a chance to win prizes throughout the season.

“Children deserve access to the highest quality pediatric care, and community support helps make that possible," said Sharon McMeel, Chief Development Officer, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation. "We are grateful to Wings Credit Union and the Denver Broncos for helping raise awareness of our mission and offering Broncos fans an exciting way to support the children and families who rely on us across our region.”

As the first presenting sponsor of Thunderstorm, Wings will also provide one randomly selected Broncos Checking member and their guest with an exclusive on-field experience at each Broncos home game. The selected member will help hold the midfield windsock used by the Thunderstorm parachutists and receive field access before kickoff.

Thanks for playing Wings Mile High Prize Drop! We're donating $1 to Children's Hospital Colorado for every participant! Children's Hospital Colorado. Wings Credit Union | Broncos. Official Banking Partner of the Denver Broncos
