The Lindsey Vonn Foundation just delivered one of its most emotional and successful nights yet.
On August 21, 2026, the Modern West Gala at the Grand Hyatt Deer Valley in Park City turned into a celebration of grit, generosity, and pure heart. Eleven years after the foundation first began empowering young women, supporters packed the room for an evening that mixed elevated western style with live music, craft cocktails, fine dining, and high-energy auctions — and the result was nothing short of electric.
In a heartfelt message following the event, the foundation summed up the night simply: “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!”
The evening was filled with genuine emotion. Mentors who work directly with the girls stood alongside longtime volunteers. Sponsors and donors who have backed the mission for years were openly thanked for making the work possible. The room felt less like a formal gala and more like a family reunion with a purpose.
That purpose remains clear. Through scholarships of up to $5,000 and the signature #STRONGgirls camps, the Lindsey Vonn Foundation gives girls from underserved communities the confidence, resources, and belief they need to chase big dreams. More than $1 million in scholarships has already been awarded. Every successful gala means more girls get that chance.
Last year’s Decade of Disco celebration marked ten full years of impact. This year’s Modern West night proved the foundation is only getting stronger as it moves into its second decade.
Tears of gratitude. Moments of real triumph. And a complete sell-out of support. The Lindsey Vonn Foundation didn’t just host another fundraiser — it reminded everyone why this mission continues to matter.
