The
Facility
The Elevate Athletic Performance Foundation is leading the creation of a high-quality sports, wellness and events facility to provide community-informed, holistic programming for low-income and high-risk neighborhood youth and their families.
The facility will provide student-athletes with equitable access to top-of-the-line training, equipment and subject matter experts (physical trainers, health and wellness coaches, etc.). The facility will also provide multigenerational programming and wraparound services for families in Northeast Denver.
We are engaged in an Asset-Based Community Development approach and are guided by an Equity-Centered Community Design process to co-create sustainable, community-led and supported resources. This allows us to build on strengths that exist in our communities, and to develop a shared vision.
The planned Elevate Sports, Wellness and Event Center will provide a home for our member organizations, which have played an important role in the historic and cultural fabrics of Northeast Denver for more than one hundred years. The center will also be an economic asset for our communities, and create jobs for youth and their family members.
