Founded in 1986, Gold Crown Foundation has added programs over time, including the Gold Crown Jr. Golf Association in 1999, the Gold Crown Girls Volleyball League in 2000, and Gold Crown Enrichment in 2003. The organization states that it is proud to “prepare kids for the game of life,” inside and outside of the classroom and on and off the court. Gold Crown Enrichment is a free, drop-in program that operates throughout the year and has seen more than 6,000 youth come through its doors since opening in 2004, with more than 500 active members and 20 mentors. It offers after school programming for kids 10–18 years old at The Clubhouse at Edgewater and also operates at the Best Buy Teen Tech Center in Lakewood.
Gold Crown Foundation offers boys and girls basketball, volleyball, golf and enrichment programs to more than 15,000 youth annually in Colorado and surrounding states, and has grown to 16,000 participants, 1,600 volunteers and 40 program offerings throughout the year. The organization provides nearly $900,000 each year in subsidized program fees and offers free facility use to several community partners, including Special Olympics Colorado, National Sports Center for the Disabled, Jeffco Adaptive Athletics, Easter Seals, Colorado Wheelchair Basketball, and Adam’s Camp. In 2019, Gold Crown Foundation launched the Health Huddle program, which focuses on mental health, healthy habits and sports performance and addresses the “whole child” in mind, body and spirit, and in 2022 it added the free, public Healthy Kids Expo, which includes activities such as hockey, basketball, football, mindfulness, stretching, yoga and nutrition.
