Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn marked a significant milestone on September 13, 2025, as she hosted the 10th anniversary gala for the Lindsey Vonn Foundation (LVF) at the Grand Hyatt in Park City. In a heartfelt Instagram post shared the following day, Vonn reflected on the foundation’s decade-long mission to empower girls from underserved communities through scholarships, enrichment programs, and mentorship. The post, which garnered widespread support online, highlighted the event’s success as a fundraiser and underscored Vonn’s ongoing commitment to fostering confidence and resilience in young women.
The Lindsey Vonn Foundation, established in 2015, has awarded over $1 million in scholarships to more than 2,000 girls, enabling them to pursue their passions in sports, arts, academics, and beyond. The gala, a glamorous affair attended by donors, volunteers, and scholarship recipients, celebrated this impact while raising funds to support future initiatives. Photos shared in the post showed Vonn in a shimmering silver dress, mingling with attendees and beaming with pride alongside the young women her foundation serves.
“What an amazing night celebrating 10 years of the Lindsey Vonn Foundation and an incredibly successful fundraiser,” Vonn wrote in the caption. She expressed gratitude to the foundation’s supporters, including sponsors, staff, mentors, and the Park City community, emphasizing their role in transforming lives. “This means so much to me and especially to the young women the foundation serves,” she added, highlighting the organization’s focus on breaking down barriers and helping girls chase their dreams.
The post also served as a call to action, encouraging followers to get involved with the LVF, particularly as the foundation opened its Fall 2025 scholarship cycle in October. The timing aligns with the organization’s announcement of welcoming a new class of scholars, offering opportunities in sports and enrichment activities to help young women build grit and leadership skills.
Vonn’s Instagram update resonated widely, earning tens of thousands of likes and hundreds of comments, many from past scholarship recipients who praised her dedication. Since retiring from professional skiing in 2019, Vonn has channeled her energy into philanthropy, with the LVF becoming a cornerstone of her legacy. The foundation’s work continues to inspire, providing a platform for girls to overcome obstacles and achieve their potential.
