The Lindsey Vonn Foundation delivered another memorable night of impact and inspiration this weekend as it celebrated 11 years of empowering young women.
The Modern West Gala, held on August 21, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley in Park City, Utah, brought together mentors, volunteers, sponsors, and donors for an evening filled with energy and purpose. Guests enjoyed live music, craft cocktails, elevated dining, and lively auctions in a setting that blended modern sophistication with western style.
In a message following the event, the foundation captured the spirit of the night: “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 more successful we are, the more young women we can help!”
A special shout-out went to the LVF mentors who attended, the volunteers who worked behind the scenes, and the sponsors and donors whose support makes the foundation’s programs possible. “We couldn’t do it without you,” the organization emphasized.
That support directly fuels the foundation’s core work. Through scholarships of up to $5,000 awarded twice a year, the Lindsey Vonn Foundation helps girls ages 10 to 18 from underserved communities pursue sports and enrichment opportunities they might otherwise miss. More than $1 million in scholarships has been distributed so far. The popular #STRONGgirls camps further build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills in a supportive environment.
Coming one year after the foundation’s landmark 10th-anniversary celebration, the 2026 gala showed that the mission continues to grow stronger. The presence of mentors who work closely with the girls added a powerful personal dimension to the evening, reminding everyone of the real lives being changed.
Eleven years in, the Lindsey Vonn Foundation remains focused on expanding opportunity. Nights like this one prove that when community, commitment, and heart come together, the results speak for themselves.
