HOW IT ALL BEGAN

In 2012, Colorado Eagles owner Martin Lind was made aware of a Larimer County Sheriff officer’s child, who was in need of a liver transplant. The financial impact on the family for this life-saving procedure would be significant. From there the Pot of Gold fundraiser game and mission began.

MISSION

Utilizing our platform and the involvement of our community members as a whole, from our fans, team, and staff; to our corporate partners, and local area sheriff's offices to help make a positive impact and support a family within our local communities experiencing a financial burden and hardship from the care of a child with a serious illness.

OVERVIEW

Annually, a child who meets the criteria above is selected as a recipient. Donations are collected from the Pot of Gold game and Irish-themed game-worn jerseys are auctioned off to raise money for the beneficiary. Each year the jerseys feature a Celtic knot shoulder patch in which past year's Pot of Gold recipients' initials.

IN ADDITION TO CHARITABLE EVENTS

Fans look forward to the annual Pot of Gold game which is held on or near St. Patrick's Day for Irish-themed music, promotions, and events all night including green beer, Irish step-dancing performances from the McTeggart School of Irish Dancers, bagpipe peformances from Northern Colorado Caledonia Pipe Band, and more.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU

A special thank you to Blue Federal Credit Union, Subaru of Loveland, Lucky Joe's Sidewalk Saloon, PCL Construction, UPS Stores of Fort Collins, OVG, Larimer and Weld County Sheriffs' offices for joining and supporting the cause.
