  VITO 'BABE' PARILLI

 

Pro Players Association is proud to present

The 1st Annual Babe Parilli Celebrity Charity Memorial Classic. This event will be presented summer 2021.

 

The tournament is open to the public. Each foursome will receive an addition of one celebrity player to their team to form a fivesome. 

 

A live and silent auction will take place offering some awesome items up for bid.

 

Celebrities from major-league sports, others from the sports industry and media will head out onto the green to take part in this memorial event to honor a Coach, fellow player, and most of all, great friend.

 

The following is an excerpt of an article written by Andrew Mason of the Denver Broncos. 

 

The life of Vito "Babe" Parilli in football was unlike any other.

Parilli, who died July 15, 2017 at the age of 87, was the quarterbacks coach for the Broncos from 1977-79, working on the staff of one Ring of Famer (head coach Red Miller) while guiding another Ring of Famer (Craig Morton) to some of the best seasons of his career.

 

Those three years forever connected Parilli to the Broncos and to Denver. But they tell just a small fraction of his story, a journey of nearly 50 years in the sport that saw him cross paths with one legend after another. 

 

Babe passed away after a courageous battle with cancer in the summer of 2017.

 

For more of the story visit: proplayersassociation.org

 

PPA's  Committee members who attended the first organizational meeting included Gary R. Adler, Natalia Bruno, Justin Byrd, Fred Gayles, Jr., Myron Jefferson, Billy Van Heusen, Steve Watson.

 

This event has been sanctioned by the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center. We are excited to have the Cancer Center's marketing team to help pave the way for promotional publicity on this event!

 

More detailed information will be added in the near future regarding the opportunities for sponsorship.

 

For more information call Pro Players Association at 720-327-9207.

 We need at least 5 more members on the golf committee. If interested please contact the PPA office 720-327-9207.

PRO PLAYERS ASSOCIATION CELEBRITY CHARITY TOURNAMENT 

The Colorado Sky Sox plan to join Pro Players Association in the organization of our golf tournament in 2014 (postponed due to floods and fires). A major portion of the proceeds will benefit Colorado youth in baseball. The event is to be scheduled and will tentatively take place in the Colorado Springs, CO area.

THE AARON SMITH MEMORIAL TROPHY WILL BE AWARDED TO THE FIRST PLACE TEAM OVERALL. This trophy memorializes the Late Aaron Smith, former Denver Bronco and Charter Executive Board Member of PPA. Aaron was very instrumental in the formation of our 501(c)3. His untimely passing in November 2008, at the age of 48, left an indelible mark on our organization and in our hearts. A special Scholarship Fund to assist with his daughter's college education expenses has been established and will also benefit from this tournament.
