DENVER — The Denver Outlaws are making a nice gesture.
The team announced some pretty cool news on Monday afternoon.
The 2020 Major League Lacrosse (MLL) Collegiate Draft presented by Cascade honors those leading the fight against COVID-19.
Each MLL team is awarded an honorary ninth-round pick in the draft, and the Denver Outlaws select Gabriela Windey (Gabby) with the pick.
Gabby is an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurse at UCHealth in Aurora. She has been a registered nurse for seven years.
Gabby, also a sports fan, says that the long-awaited return of sports is helping her get through this time. She is a former Denver Outlaws Dancer, currently cheers for the Denver Broncos and is amazed at the support from the sports community.
“I’ve had so many organizations, like the MLL, reach out and be truly interested in telling our story as health care workers working during the pandemic. I am so grateful to be part of this community and it’s what makes Denver so special” mentions Gabby.
