The Lindsey Vonn Foundation marked 11 years of impact this weekend with another successful fundraising gala, reinforcing its steady growth and lasting commitment to empowering young women.
The Modern West Gala took place on August 21, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley in Park City, Utah. Guests experienced an evening that blended modern sophistication with western style, featuring live music, craft cocktails, elevated dining, and both live and silent auctions. The event continued the foundation’s tradition of high-quality annual fundraisers while raising critical support for its programs.
In a message shared after the night, the foundation expressed clear appreciation for everyone involved. “11 years of the Lindsey Vonn Foundation and another incredible fundraising gala in the books! Thank you to everyone who came out to support these incredible young women,” the organization wrote. “The more successful we are, the more young women we can help!”
Special recognition went to the LVF mentors who attended, the volunteers who helped make the evening run smoothly, and the sponsors and donors whose contributions make the foundation’s work possible. “We couldn’t do it without you,” the post emphasized.
Since its launch, the Lindsey Vonn Foundation has focused on giving girls from underserved communities access to opportunities that build confidence and grit. Its scholarship program awards up to $5,000 twice a year to young people ages 10 to 18 who show determination but lack the financial means to pursue sports or enrichment activities. More than $1 million in scholarships has been distributed to date. The foundation’s #STRONGgirls camps further support mental and physical development through structured, confidence-building experiences.
Coming one year after the foundation’s 10th-anniversary Decade of Disco celebration, the 2026 gala signals a strong start to its second decade. The consistent turnout and support demonstrate that the mission continues to resonate and expand.
With each successful event, the Lindsey Vonn Foundation strengthens its ability to reach more young women. Eleven years in, the organization remains focused, effective, and clearly committed to the long road ahead.
