Denver Broncos Pro Bowl guard traded in his helmet for elephant tusks on September 8, 2013 at the Exdo Center to celebrate the launch of his non-profit the Zane Beadles Parade Foundation. Fans and families from Brent’s Place, the beneficiary of the events funds, flocked for the chance to meet Zane along with other members of the Broncos like: Ben Garland, J.D. Walton, Chris Kuper, Orlando Franklin, Vinston Painter, Ryan Clady, Paul Cornick, and Brock Osweiller for breakfast and elephant-themed fun. Emceed by Denver’s D Bar restaurant chef and Food Network personality, Keegan Gerhard, the parade of fun did not stop all day. Cake walks, a silent auction, cupcake decorating tables, a bouncy castle for the kids, face painting, a photo booth, broadcasts of the first NFL games of the season, and even a chance to dance with the players.
