More than 900 attend the 2010 John Lynch Salute the Stars awards luncheon to recognize Denver area student-athletes.
More than 900 guests turned out for the 2010 John Lynch Salute the Stars awards luncheon, presented by the Sports Authority. The event was held at INVESCO Field, on Thursday, May 13th, but was moved inside due to the weather. The student-athletes who were recognized at this event were impressive and inspiring.
As the more than sixty student-athletes were introduced by legendary announcer, Joe Buck, they entered the event through the Broncos tunnel to a standing ovation. The student-athletes honored at Salute the Stars all show proven successes in academic, athletics and community involvement.
The guests listened to motivating words from keynote speaker, Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels who congratulated the student-athletes and not only provided an inspiring message, but also a little insight into the Broncos upcoming football season.
