Colorado Springs police planned to bring more than a team to their annual goalball game with the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind. In a Nov. 6 announcement, the department said it would donate two goalballs and 12 blackout goggles through Peyton Manning’s PeyBack Foundation.
The game was scheduled for Nov. 9, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., at the school’s gym at 33 North Institute Street. Goalball asks players to follow sound and communicate with teammates rather than rely on sight; officers were expected to wear blackout goggles against the school’s athletes.
The department also planned to recognize two seniors with challenge coins before play. The release describes the equipment commitment and event schedule. It does not provide a game result or a later confirmation of the presentation.
