In addition to the Boys & Girls Clubs support, Bellco partnered with the Rockies and the Denver Art Museum to sponsor a mural contest, which encouraged local, amateur artists to submit their original work showing how the Colorado Rockies always "Rise to the Rockies." The winning murals are featured behind sections 127, 209 and at the Buckaroos Playground by section 142. The following muralists were selected:

Julia Haberler (adult winner, 18+)

Bellco also commissioned a mural at Coors Field (in the Rooftop area). A time lapse video of the installation can be viewed here https://youtu.be/dUt1a_yN0WM.

"For over 80 years, Bellco has been giving back to Colorado," said Jody Soper, vice president of marketing for Bellco.
