Canvas Credit Union is thrilled to announce that Todd Marksberry has been honored to join the Board of Directors at the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. As this merit distinguishes folks who exemplify sports values, Canvas couldn’t be more thrilled to see Todd join this extraordinary organization.
Colorado Sports Hall of Fame’s mission is to recognize individuals for their exploits, accomplishments, and leadership in sports and athletic endeavors throughout Colorado. They strive to make programs available to support youth, cultivate character and citizenship as they grow toward leadership. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Colorado Sports Hall of Fame has served as a foundation and donated over $2 million dollars to Colorado youth sports organizations since 2005. Hosting a variety of events from High School Football Championships to Golf Classics as well as Induction and Awards Banquets, proceeds go directly to support youth sports programs.
As the President and CEO of Canvas, a not-for-profit financial institution, Todd understands the importance of giving back to the community and is constantly dreaming about how he can do more. This recognition elevates the work that Todd does and shines a light on the impact that his leadership brings to Colorado’s communities. “It’s an honor to join this board among some of the greatest athletes, sports figures and other Colorado leaders in the state,” shared Todd Marksberry. “Giving back to the community brings so much joy to my heart, especially when it comes to supporting our youth. Just as I root for my team at Canvas, I’m excited to make an impact in our community through the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame to support our future leaders of tomorrow and pass on the servant values that sports have brought me.”

At Canvas, Todd has built a culture where titles don’t hold precedence. It is about coming together as human beings and team members.
