DENVER – On Wednesday, April 27, Mayor Michael B. Hancock will welcome Mayor Jennifer Roberts of Charlotte, N.C. to Denver for the fourth-annual Service Bowl project. In partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the mayors placed a friendly Super Bowl wager focused on the importance of volunteering and community service.

After the Denver Broncos won Super Bowl 50, Mayor Hancock arranged for Mayor Roberts, along with Wendy Spencer, CEO of CNCS, to participate in a day of service in Denver. Through Rebuilding Together, a leading national nonprofit in safe and health housing, they will serve alongside AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers to refurbish a home in West Denver. This project coincides with National Rebuilding Month, an annual month-long call to service to engage volunteers in a concerted effort to complete repairs on homes, nonprofit facilities and community spaces.
