Garett Bolles, an offensive tackle for the Denver Broncos, has been recognized for his community service efforts by being named the 2026 NFLPA Alan Page Community Award winner. The announcement was made Tuesday by the NFL Players Association.
Bolles becomes the fourth player in Broncos history to receive this award, which is considered one of the most prestigious honors across the league. He is also the first Bronco to earn it since John Lynch in 2007. The selection was determined by votes from players throughout the NFL.
In addition to being nominated as the Broncos’ candidate for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, Bolles has made a significant impact through initiatives such as opening the Bjorem + Bolles Childhood Apraxia Training Center in Parker, Colorado. This facility, described as a first-of-its-kind education and training center, supports individuals with speech or language-based learning differences. Bolles was motivated to create this center following his son’s diagnosis with Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
Bolles has also collaborated with Vertical Skills Academy, which assists children dealing with dyslexia and other language-based learning challenges. Furthermore, he has worked with justice-involved youth through mentorship programs in Arapahoe County’s juvenile probation court and has visited residents at Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center.
As part of receiving this year’s Alan Page Community Award, Bolles will be granted a $100,000 donation for his foundation.
“Garett Bolles has been honored at a league level for his work benefiting the community,” according to an official statement from the organization.
