Through Tyler’s Kids Outreach (TKO), Tyler and Liz Polumbus strive to enrich the lives of children through family, faith and personal growth. Tyler is a homegrown success story of Denver, so starting his program here is that much more meaningful to him. From their own upbringing, both Liz and Tyler fully appreciate the importance of all three elements – family, faith and personal growth - in the healthy development of children. Moreover, Tyler realizes that through his program the children will enrich their lives as much as they will theirs. He sums it up best when he says, “’Growing Strong Together’ fits our program because this will be a growing process for everyone involved – Liz, the kids and I! We are very excited about TKO!
Entering his third year in the NFL and having a strong foundation of community work from working with the Broncos Community Relations department, Tyler feels ready to take the next step by starting his own program. To do so, he and Liz have created Tyler’s Kids Outreach (TKO, a program under the 501 (c)(3) umbrella of Athletes for Education which is a San Diego-based non-profit foundation. They have big plans for the first year of their program and for years to come. So watch out Denver…here comes TKO! We’re going to Knock you Out in 2010!
Wednesday, June 16th – Denver, CO – Tyler Polumbus and five of his
Broncos’ teammates visited children at Presbyterian St. Luke’s (P/SL) Hospital.
Watching the scene, it was hard to tell who was enjoying the visit more – the
children or the athletes – as everyone was smiling ear to ear. In addition to
spending some time with each child, the athletes signed pictures and footballs for
the kids. It was definitely a positive kickoff to Tyler’s Kids Outreach (TKO) 2010
activities.
Tyler is planning another visit to Presbyterian St. Luke’s on Wednesday, June
23rd to spread more positivity and create more smiles. During his second
visit, Tyler plans to dedicate his time to two special children that are in need of
encouragement. His goal is to spend personalized time and energy with these
children to build a special relationship with each of them. “Positive energy and
feeling loved can make a tremendous difference to these kids and their families.
I have always wanted my impact to be positive and personal. I feel great about
building these relationships with the kids at HealthOne!”
