The DBQBC's main focus each year is to provide tickets for all Denver Broncos home games to children from disadvantaged situations throughout our area. The Club purchases season tickets and then distributes tickets on a game by game basis. This allows many children to experience the joy and excitement of Broncos football who would otherwise not get the opportunity.

2008 will be the fifth year that we will purchase a booth for the Team Fan Fare.

The Year was 1960......Robert Howsam and a few friends decided to form a booster club to develop pro-football interest in the Denver Broncos.....there after to be known as the Denver Broncos Quarterback Club. Some of the early members were Ed Hirschfeld, ex-Denver Bear pitcher Mark Freeman and Charlie Goldberg. Since Charlie was one of the original members and was the longest continuous member of the Quarterback Club, he is now listed as the founder of the Club.

During the 1960's, there were half a dozen small groups throughout the metropolitan area that supported the Broncos....the Aurora Bronco Quarterback Club, the South Denver Club and even a women's group know as the Broncos' Petticoat Club. Lou Saban was the force behind uniting all of these clubs. He wanted the clubs to combine so that the demands on the Broncos staff and players were focused into the support of one club. The combined club became the Denver Broncos Quarterback Club, Inc. (DBQBC). The club has been incorporated since 1964.

The Quarterback Club originally met for a weekly noon luncheon at the American Legion Post in downtown Denver. After this club was demolished, other locations were used including the Continental Denver Motor Lodge at Speer Blvd. and Zuni. During these years, Coach Ralston and Red Miller brought players and game films to the club meetings and utilized the club as the primary way to keep people informed about the Broncos. There was little media coverage of the team—very different than today!!

When Mile Stadium was completed in 1976, Charlie Goldberg opened the Mile-Hi Stadium Club under the north stands of the stadium. This was to become the new home of the Quarterback Club. Jim Saccomano, the Publicity Director of the Denver Broncos, arranged guest speakers from the team.

The Quarterback Club has a volunteer Board of Directors that governs the booster organization as well as a Club President that is selected every 2 years. The Clubs' purpose is to distribute Home Game tickets to children from disadvantaged situations so that they may experience the joy of seeing the Broncos in action. It also serves as a place for fellow Broncomaniacs to share their enthusiasm and support of the team, to meet players and coaches and generally have a great time while doing some good in the community. Over the years, the objectives of the Club have been applauded and encouraged by the Broncos' owner and management. We look forward to serving the team, our members and community for many more years to come!!
