LAKEWOOD, Colo. Twenty-three years after the All-Star Game made its first Denver appearance, its legacy project continues to make dreams come true.
In 1998, Major League Baseball chose the Gold Crown Foundation as its legacy project recipient. The league creates community projects every All-Star Game to improve and help organizations around the city.
Businessman Ray Baker and former Denver Nugget Bill Hanzlik created the Gold Crown foundation. The non-profit organization offers sports and education programs for kids. In 91 and 92 they eliminated all junior high sports, Baker explained. So all after school activities for the most part and the athletics were gone. We felt that was a great niche that was missing.
