RESILIENCE

Jonas' impressive performances and unwavering dedication caught the attention of professional scouts. In 2021, he declared for the NFL Draft, where he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round, making him the 117th overall pick. Joining the 49ers, Jonas embraced the opportunity to compete at the highest level and contribute to the team's success. In August of 2021 Jonas was traded to the Denver Broncos where he is retained today after executing a contract extension for the 2023-2024 season.

 

Off the field, Jonas is admired for his humble and down-to-earth nature. He is actively engaged in community initiatives, using his platform to make a positive impact in the lives of others. His dedication, perseverance, and commitment to excellence serve as an inspiration to aspiring football players and fans alike. Jonas has successfully rebounded from an injury impacting the 2022-2023 season, demonstrating his adaptability, resilience, and positive attitude. Jonas continues to serve as a powerful example of what discipline, dedication, and passion can create.

OUR WHY

As the founders of Elevate DNVR, we have a personal connection to the struggles that many at-risk youth in Denver face. Having grown up in challenging circumstances ourselves, we understand firsthand the importance of having access to supportive resources and mentorship opportunities that can help break the cycle of poverty and violence.

This is why we are committed to supporting organizations like the Jonas Griffith Foundation, which provides vital financial support to young people in need who have aspirations of pursuing post-secondary education opportunities. By hosting this fundraising gala, we hope to raise awareness and support for the Jonas Griffith Foundation, enabling them to continue providing hope and opportunity to the youth of Denver.  Further, Jonas is committed to fostering a relationship with the recipients of his scholarship.  In this way, he offers more than financial support, but emotional support as well as he “wraps his arms” around these youth.

Our "why" is rooted in the belief that every young person deserves a chance to thrive, and we are honored to be able to contribute to this important mission through our work with Elevate DNVR.

"Investing in youth programs is investing in the empowerment of communities of color. It's time we prioritize this investment to create a more equitable society."
