DENVER --
The conflict? Denver’s trip to Super Bowl 50.
That game, plus all the corresponding events that followed, made it impossible to hold the normal spring event for Judi’s House, a bereavement center founded by Griese.
On Tuesday, when he welcomed more than 80 donors to Osteria Marco in Denver to gear up for the Sept. 7 event with the help of cornerback Chris Harris Jr. as a guest speaker, that seemed like a trade-off Griese would be willing to make again.
The Lombardi Trophy, however, doesn’t seem nearly as important as the work Judi’s House does for the thousands it serves.
