More than $150,000 was raised for Von’s Vision, Broncos all-pro linebacker Von Miller’s foundation, at the second annual Celebrity steak Out last week at Ocean Prime.
The event featured Miller and several of his Broncos teammates trading in their uniforms for aprons to serve 187 guests a three-course meal.
The star-studded evening featured silent and live auctions, and guests were able to chat and take photos with Peyton Manning, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker, Lamin Barrow, Demaryius Thomas, DeMarcus Ware, Omar Bolden, David Bruton, Andre Caldwell, Tony Carter, Ben Garland, Malik Jackson, Steven Johnson, Terrance Knighton, Lerentee McCray, Brandon McManus, Will Montgomery, Rahim Moore, Corey Nelson, Brock Osweiler, Aqib Talib, Jacob Tamme, , Danny Trevathan, Mitch Unrein, Kayvon Webster and Kenny Anunike.
With proceeds from the evening, including a $50,000 donation from Miller himself, Von’s Vision exceeded its goal to raise the funds to get 5,000 area children in glasses.
Miller founded Von’s Vision in 2013 with the mission to better the vision of Denver-area youth by providing them needed eye examinations and eyewear to succeed in the classroom and in life. For more information visit www.vonmiller.org.
