accolade� �o� the pa�t,

ENTHUSIASM FOR THE FUTURE It’s worth taking a moment to think about what this valley would be without the Vail Valley Foundation. The best way to get a sense for that is to read this Annual Report. Within it, you’ll find an overview of all this organization’s great work. There are many factors that come together to make this work a success, but I want to point out two particular important components. First is your generosity. Without it, we couldn’t accomplish so much across arts, athletics, and education. Equally as important is the incredible staff at the Vail Valley Foundation. They are truly talented and perhaps the most hard-working people I’ve ever encountered. To everyone at the Vail Valley Foundation: thank you so much for your inspiring efforts. At the VVF, 2018 was a time where we looked to the future and challenged ourselves: what will we establish for the long-term benefit of our community? How will we prepare ourselves for the years to come? In answer, the Vail Valley Foundation has created a five-year strategic plan that puts us on strong footing to flourish in the long term. There are many kinds of strategic plans, but ours is a nimble one. It is clear and deliberate, but it is not rigid. It’s our belief that an organization must remain flexible; always ready to respond to community needs. This plan builds upon the work and leadership this organization has provided since its founding in 1981. As we look back on a successful 2018, and forward to an exciting 2019, we invite you to help us continue to serve this unique community. At the center of all we have done, and all we will continue to do, is the kindness, volunteerism, and philanthropy of each of you. With sincere gratitude,

Ann Smead Chairman of the Board, Vail Valley Foundation

‘BIG IDEAS’ IN 2019 At the Vail Valley Foundation, we are at once celebrating a phenomenal year and looking forward to a future that is bound to be exciting and adventurous. As you will see in these pages, we are innovating, planning, and preparing for what's next across all that we do. It is fitting that our Annual Report is adapting and changing along with the organization. In addition to the printed copy you hold in your hand we also offer an interactive, digital version of this report [vvf.org/annual-report]. It offers a captivating multi-media journey through our year, as well as a glimpse of our future. Looking ahead and thinking big are two hallmarks of this organization. Where we stand today is due, in large part, to the foresight of our founders, who anticipated the changes in our community that are now part of our everyday reality. As we look to the next five years, our sights are set on addressing the changing needs of our community and setting up our organization for great success for decades to come. From financials, to fundraising, to organizational structure, our eye is now on the future. The coming year will usher in a new era for the VVF. We look forward to working on this together with you. Thank you for your support throughout an exceptional 2018. We look forward to all the great connections, and changes, that await in 2019.

Mike Imhof President, Vail Valley Foundation

The powe� o� the

JOURNE The majesty of the Vail Valley is immediately

breathtaking, but at the Vail Valley Foundation, we know that our community is the real source of magic in our rural, mountain resort towns. Hard working families contribute to our success as a world-class destination, driven by the hope that their personal investments create opportunities for their children. Our educational programs have been their partner in preparing our next generation for success for nearly four decades.

Ready to learn This year, our Magic Bus state-licensed preschool rolled out a new customized RV to serve children ages 3-5 who do not have access to quality early childhood education. This state-of-the art classroom on wheels, equipped with its own bathroom, has not only allowed us to serve additional underserved areas, but has generated a buzz that brought our program to full-capacity this summer.

Ready to excel Our PwrHrs afterschool and summer programs continue to wrap around the school community, its families and children. This year, summer camp extended from a half day to a full day – growing our contact hours with students to more than 300,000 annually. PwrHrs also secured (continued on page 8)

state licensure, becoming the largest childcare provider in the county. All of the above is good news for our community, because our studies show that PwrHrs attendance is associated with academic gains, and PwrHrs attendance significantly improves school day attendance. We provide transportation home for our children as well as a daily healthy snack. This allows our hardworking families to take comfort knowing that their children are being cared for, in a safe environment, where they will thrive.

Ready for college or career Our Group Mentoring program continues to pair more than 100 middleschool students with role models from the business community, providing them with a trusted adult relationship that can make the difference between graduation and dropping out. YouthPower365 couples this program with Camp College, a two-week program of family-student workshops focused on completing college applications, financial planning, major exploration, and parent support strategies. This year, we further defined and deepened our partnerships with CareerX and Careerwise – internship and postsecondary navigation programs. These multi-faceted efforts ensure students are ready for their next step in life.

Ready to climb the next peak A thousand smaller moments of accomplishment are nestled among our annual notable milestones. The morning a Magic Bus child sounds out the alphabet for the first time; the day a PwrHrs child finally understands physics while designing his own race track; the evening a high schooler gets help with her FAFSA application and, for the first time ever, college finally seems within her grasp; the week a parent feels welcomed as part of a school family; and the year a teacher connects to their student in a way that changes their life. We are ready for our next steps as an organization – to create new community connections with our November 2019 PwrHrs Rural Afterschool Conference; to integrate local community services into our programs through our three-year Colorado Health Foundation grant; and to strive for quality in all our activities using strategic planning and research. Thank you for being our partners in this journey to improve the lives of children in our Valley.

Resounding

APPLAUSE With the Gore Range to the east, Vail

Mountain to the south, and Vail Village to the west, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater occupies a rare and cherished place on earth. It also occupies a rare and cherished place in our community. It’s a place where locals and visitors come together to celebrate the arts, enjoy headliner music, raise a toast, see old friends, and cultivate the connections that are the heartbeat of a strong community. In 2018, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater enjoyed a summer unlike any other. The inaugural year of the Whistle Pig Vail concert series brought big names and ticketed shows to the Ford Amphitheater, merging big-name rock and pop with the Ford Amphitheater’s already-beloved lineups including the Vail Dance Festival, Bravo! Vail performances, and the Moe’s Bar B Que Hot Summer Nights free concerts on Tuesdays. Looking ahead, the Ford Amphitheater and Whistle Robert Plant at Whistle Pig Vail, 2018.

E Pig Vail are poised to make an indelible mark on the Rocky Mountain music scene. Word is out about the successful 2018 series, and blockbuster 2019 performances are already on the books. The venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innate charisma is sure to expand its already-renowned reputation among artists as a phenomenal, welcoming place to perform. The venue continues to be a place unlike any other, thanks to the support and patronage from our community.

The height� o�

ARTISTRY The Vail Dance Festival enjoyed the

benefits of tremendous momentum in 2018. In its 30th season, the event was catapulted into new heights on the strength of a now three-decadeslong history of building the Vail Valley as a summertime dance haven for artists, choreographers, audiences and, perhaps most importantly, for the progression of the art itself. Take just one cross-section of the event by way of example: Tony Award-winning choreographer Justin Peck was paired with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw to create an entirely new creation, RISE WAIT CLIMB THROUGH for NOW: Premieres Aug. 6. It wasn’t Shaw’s only premiere of the night. She also collaborated with Festival-favorite Lil Buck. Extemporaneously, Buck and Shaw built their own recording studio in Vail, and Shaw helped shape a new musical structure that included Buck’s own voice, to match his choreography for the mind-blowing World Premiere of 38109. Created entirely while here, the new piece joined together with an equally-astounding set of new works from Michelle Dorrance, Lauren Lovette, Tiler Peck, Silas Riener, Rashaun Mitchell and Claudia Schreier, for perhaps the most impressive collection of new works to premiere at the Vail Dance Festival. All of the above took place on one night of a two-week Festival which featured 13 performances, 170 artists, and thousands of moments, large

and small, that collectively helped build new connections and enliven the diverse cultural communities that unify for this extraordinary event. The Festival also took notable strides toward expanding the off-stage integration of audiences, interns, young dancers and long-time fans into the collective process of discussion, thoughts, and ideas that should, and do, surround a top-tier event like the Vail Dance Festival. These include the expansion of Festival Forums live podcast events, the Young Patron Party, Master Classes, the Dancing in the Streets events, and of course the advent of the new Tutu Tea Party for little aspiring dancers. Simply put, 2018 was an exceptional year not only for the new collaborations and pairings, but also for its unmatched creativity.

The a�t o�

PERFORMA There is not a bad seat

in the house at the Vilar Performing Arts Center. There is, however, a view that not many people get to experience: the one from the stage, looking outward at the audience. Grammy-winning artists and Broadway stars have been there, and so have rock stars and country legends. Jazz ensembles and ballerinas, comedians and magicians, mezzo-sopranos and soulful singersongwriters have all stepped onto the nowstoried stage. So have our youthful aspiring talents, because the VPAC quite often hosts the performances of our academy and community theaters – always to a packed house. What performers see, when looking out at us, is almost as interesting as what we see while looking on at them. In fact, in some ways it is more interesting. They see hundreds of faces that mirror the emotions of the experience. They see a community that comes together to support the arts, that values the ethereal yet important connections that are only

VILAR PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

MANCE made live, in person, when people come together to share in the heartbreak, hilarity, romance and reflection that true artisanship can guide us through. Creating such moments requires widespread support. Only 33% of the $4 million required to keep the VVF’s Vilar Performing Arts Center open comes from ticket sales. The remaining 67% must be raised through corporate and individual contributions. At the VPAC, it’s no mistake that we have an audience that is as diverse as it’s programming. Among the wide pallet offered by the more than 125 events a year, the VPAC also hosts young S.T.A.R.S. (Support The Arts Reaching Students) audiences from our local schools, many of whom would never otherwise enjoy such an experience. Whether it is part of S.T.A.R.S. or to see famous stars, audiences of all ages and interests come to the VPAC and find new friends, bond with old ones, and build the memories and meaning that, taken together, are the connections that create community.

MOUNTAIN The moments after dawn at the

GoPro Mountain Games illuminate scenes of anticipation: Fisherman are plying their casting skills, trail runners are warming up through Vail Village, cyclists are adjusting their tune, and kayakers are shaking off the cobwebs with paddle strokes in Gore Creek. As the GoPro Mountain Games approaches the dawn of its 18th year, it is still as young and fresh as ever; still overflowing with a similar sense of anticipation and potential that comes with mountain rays of morning light. There is nowhere else where so many people, from so many places on earth, come together to find communion in the mountain lifestyle through athletics, art, music and more. Vail has established itself as the connection point for the greater mountain community, which leads us to wonder what the future might bring for this one-of-a-kind event as it nears the end of its second decade as the best all-around mountain sports and lifestyle event anywhere in the world.

GoPro Mountain Games

“This is the event where all the athletes from all the mountain sports come together for one big, hurrah with people of all ages and abilities. It’s a blast and

In 2018, the GoPro Mountain there’s nothing like it.” Games showed once again that it has its own, special, kind of Nick Troutman, World Champion kayaker gravitational mass. It reliably attracts the people, partners, and products that are at the epicenter of the outdoor world, and the four days in Vail each June are growing to become an annual pilgrimage for mountain-loving people from all around the state, country, and globe. It’s a can’t miss event. As it grows, it’s clear there are big things ahead for the GoPro Mountain Games. And, just like those who brave the dawn in Vail each June, we know that wherever we head next, it’s bound to be a beautiful adventure.

Race

RALLY Pro Cycling has been a big part of

Vail history going back to the Red Zinger in 1975, the Coors Classic in the 1980s, and the more recent USA Pro Challenge. In 2018 a new chapter of this legacy was written when the Vail Valley Foundation partnered with RPM Events Group and the Town of Vail as part of year two of the Colorado Classic. The race included a day-two Time Trial up the legendary Vail Pass course, but it also included a circuit race through Vail Village, something the town had not seen at that level since the Coors Classic. Expo booths, concerts, games, and ancillary activities like the Gravel Fondo brought liveliness to Vail Village during the Thursday and Friday race window. Thousands came to show their support, and aerial cameras for Eurosport 1 broadcast the event to prime-time European markets. Together with livestreaming, social media, and traditional news outlets, the event helped show the majesty of the Vail Valley to a global audience. On days three and four, the Colorado Classic completed its run in Denver. Here in Vail, the Vail Valley Foundation continued the festivities by hosting a two-day, sold-out weekend of concerts at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater as part of the Whistle Pig Vail series.

SPEED Xfinity Birds of Prey

�p

In this valley, snow news is good news, but for the hundreds of course workers at the 2018 Xfinity Birds of Prey, heavy snow equals heavy work. Other venues may have buckled at the implications of 13 inches of snow falling on a 1.2-mile-long race course during race week. In Beaver Creek, the inimitable fortitude of the race crew (including the all-volunteer Talon Crew, Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, and the pro team from Beaver Creek Mountain) was on grand display. The courses were cleared, conditions were excellent, and round-the-clock effort set the stage for an extraordinary year of racing at the 2018 Xfinity Birds of Prey Audi FIS Ski World Cup. Millions of Americans watched on NBC, and tens of millions watched from around the world as Olympic champions tackled the legendary Birds of Prey course. At the venue, one racer in particular stood out: River Radamus, home-town hero, was featured on the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s banners, posters, programs and more, giving the 20-year-old Edwards resident a true taste of the big-time. In the Village, concerts, fireworks, ice skating and falling snowflakes made for a quintessential Beaver Creek experience. A new YouthPower365 Kids Zone (presented by TIAA Bank) gave kids a front-row seat to the races, s'mores made for family-friendly fun in Beaver Creek Village, and adorable ski patrol puppies stole the show during Friday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bib selection ceremony. In the end, the champion racers grabbed global headlines as a new round of medalists achieved greatness, forever etching their names into Xfinity Birds of Prey history.

crew, Tenie Chicoine is now “retiring” from volunteering to focus on the family business in Gypsum and on her actual family here and in California. But the 2018 Vail Valley Foundation “Volunteer of the Year” will miss her extended family of brownie consumers and sock-wearers. “I have a fantastic crew of people, and we do this all together,” Chicoine said. “It’s like family, and we just have a good time doing events. We’re all on the same page, we’re here to help out and to have a good time … and we do.” Tenie started with the VVF as a way to meet people after first moving to the valley in 1996, and her first event was a World Cup mountain bike race in 1997. Soon, she was coordinating and dealing with all the products coming in from the sales force – the goodie bags, gifts, sponsor materials, volunteer uniforms. Basically, the SWAG, or “Stuff We All Get.” “She has more energy than any other person I’ve ever met. She runs circles around like 20- and 30-year-olds. It’s just incredible,” said Jen Mason, who organized the nonprofit’s volunteers for more than a decade. “Tenie has a big truck and trailer and she’s constantly running, going to Denver and picking up large shipments, all the products. She’s literally like a machine, like the little engine that keeps us all going. We’ll miss her. We love her. She’s going to leave a large hole in this organization.” A large hole figuratively but not physically. A Louisiana native, Ernestine Chicoine came by her nickname “Tenie” because of her diminutive frame and huge heart, but she credits everyone else in the organization for winning the volunteer award. Tenie is also the first person to win the award twice – first in 2005, and in 2018 a second time as a special way to send off this one-of-a-kind, veteran volunteer. “It’s been a fantastic run. I enjoyed it. I appreciate everything everyone’s done,” Chicoine said. “I mean, without the team that I’ve had through these years, I could have never done it. Everything’s a team effort; it’s not just me. It takes the whole group.” Chicoine is passing the products torch to Jim Lee, who she’s been working with for six or seven years (he can have her brownie recipe, too), and she’s confident the show will go on without her. But she will miss her extended family. “What I say is, this is the longest I've stayed with any particular thing in my life, except being married to my husband,” Chicoine said.

2019 Citizens of the year:

BETSY & GEORGE WIEGERS

It was the mid-1800s when Benjamin Jowett first coined the phrase, “The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit of doing them.” In the Vail Valley community, it is Betsy and George Wiegers who are the embodiment of the concept, coining it anew through incredible acts of philanthropy throughout Eagle County and beyond. Betsy, in particular, has spearheaded a quiet yet forceful, compilation of philanthropic work here in the Vail Valley. Together, their combined efforts have created and supported a body of work in this valley and beyond that has impacted countless lives across a broad spectrum of giving.

Citizens of the Year

“There is virtually no area of community life that they have not elevated through their giving, Board service, vision, and foresight,” said Ann Smead, Chairman of the Vail Valley Foundation Board of Directors. “We are so thankful to them, and I feel, in truth, they are honoring us by allowing us to honor them as the 2019 Citizens of the Year.” In the arts, in education, in mental and physical health, and in the overall development of this community and others, the Wiegers have been a stalwart and largely unseen force for positivity across all fronts, and have notably, and characteristically, eschewed accolades or recognition throughout. For their good work in this community and beyond, the Vail Valley Foundation has named Betsy and George Wiegers as the 2019 Vail Valley Citizens of the Year. Betsy has been instrumental in the flourishing of the Vail Dance Festival, Bravo! Vail, and support of classical music and dance in general, including her roles in strong support of American Ballet Theatre, the Denver Art Museum, the Betty Ford Gardens, the Philadelphia Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York Historical Society. She plays a crucial role on the Vail Dance Festival committee, and as underwriter for countless performances in both dance and classical, including the creation of the Betsy Wiegers Choral Fund. She has been a trustee of Bravo! Vail and served on the Board of Directors for the Vail Valley Foundation since 2007. “Betsy responds to the idea that the arts should be there for everybody,” said Damian Woetzel, Artistic Director of the Vail Dance Festival. For newcomers to the Vail Valley, it can come as a serendipitous surprise that the venerable New York Philharmonic has a summer residency here, and has since 2003. Only a very few are aware that it was Betsy who played the pivotal role in instigating this program. Both Betsy and George are ardent supporters of YouthPower365, were among the original supporters of building the Vilar Performing Arts Center, both have been involved with the work of the Eagle County Land Trust, helping create conservation easements throughout the valley, in particular at Bair Ranch, and both have been active in support of Vail Health. It has largely been George who has spearheaded the couple’s work in mental and physical health, environment, and veteran’s affairs. George was the visionary behind the creation of the Helen and Arthur E.

Johnson Depression Center at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. His original vision continues to drive the Center, which has treated thousands of patients who may not have otherwise received care since its opening, including services in Eagle County through telehealth. “I think George’s legacy is huge, and it’s really changed the face of mental health care in Colorado and beyond,” said Heather Mulvihill, Chairman of the Depression Center. George has also been a major funder of Dr. Karl Deisseroth, whose laboratory at Stanford is globally recognized as an epicenter of new research in neuropsychiatric disease. George has also helped create a theater at Niagara University, his alma mater, and has been a strong supporter of Vail Health, Howard Head Sports Medicine centers, and the Vail Veterans program. George was also finance chairman for the University of Colorado in 1991, helping bolster funding for the University. Betsy and George met in New York, soon after George left the Army. They were married there in 1965. Their son Alex was born in 1968, and is now married to Connie Wiegers. Betsy and George are now loving role models to granddaughters Hanna Wiegers and Lizzy Wiegers, as well as to the extended Wiegers family that gathers often at the family ranch. George received his masters at Columbia Business School, where he helped found a series of classes helping teach the principles of capitalism to students at the renowned journalism school there. Later, while at Lehman Brothers, George took part in a series of major deals, including the sale of Pebble Beach to 20th Century Fox in 1978, and helping finance the beginnings of cable TV. During her career, Betsy was active at Time Life Books, eventually taking a leadership role at the company as Director of Strategic Planning for the Time Inc. Books Group which included several subsidiaries in Europe, Japan and Mexico. She was also on the board of the Book of the Month Club; Little, Brown & Company; and Navarro S.A. publishers. Both Betsy and George have a lifelong love of skiing – first in Vermont, then in Colorado, where they quickly fell in love with Vail Mountain. Through their friend, Jay Precourt, they began visiting Colorado in the late 1970s, and joined Precourt in purchasing the Skylark Ranch in 1980. In 1991 they bought a lot in Vail, and moved permanently to Vail in 1993. “We were partners in many ventures together,” said Precourt, a longtime business partner, friend, and also the 2017 Vail Valley Citizen of the Year recipient. “George is not only a great partner, but he’s a terrific friend. He’s active, generous, and a great philanthropist.” Betsy and George join a distinguished list of previous recipients of the Citizen of the Year honor.

PHILANTHROPY

The Vail Valley Foundation has been fortunate to have so many supporters who have given their time, guidance and financial generosity. After many decades of serving our community, the VVF wants to thank and recognize the Borgen Family for their insightful vision, generosity and thoughtful leadership. The Borgen family is the single largest individual contributor to VVF in our history. From the Magic Bus to the Birds of Prey World Cup and three Alpine World Ski Championships, from the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater to the Vail Dance Festival to the Vilar Performing Arts Center, the lifetime contributions of Bjorn Erik Borgen, his family, and the Borgen Family Foundation are in the millions of dollars along with countless volunteer hours of their time selflessly given to the VVF. Bjorn Erikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal story is also one of inspiration and achievement. He emigrated from Norway to the small town of Strum, Wisconsin, where he flourished due to opportunities available to him through the local public schools. He received a scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin, later completed his MBA at Harvard Business School and went on to a successful career in entrepreneurship and investment. Bjorn and his wife, Kathy, have three children: Kaia, Randi and Jon-Erik, as well as 10 grandchildren. The entire Borgen family makes charitable giving a priority. Their commitment to the Vail Valley community has been a major force for good, and created a legacy of where the community is headed for decades to come. On behalf of the Vail Valley Foundation Board, staff, and a grateful community, we thank the Borgen family for their exceptional leadership and generosity.

KAREN AND MIKE HERMAN To Karen and Mike Herman,

The Education Legacy Award recognizes donors who have given more than $1 million toward Vail Valley

Foundation education philanthropy is much more than writing a check. As integral initiatives. members of the Vail Valley and Kansas City communities, the Hermans say they see philanthropy as, “bringing people into society, making them part of society.” This is not only reflected in their formal philanthropic endeavors, but also in the way they live their lives and raised their children, and they have inspired several generations of Herman family members who strive to give back as much as possible to their communities, especially in the area of education. Karen and Mike have expanded the boundaries of philanthropy by committing their time and leadership to institutions that make a difference. Karen is the founding President of the Women’s Foundation of Greater Kansas City, and has served roles on the Board of Directors for The Hadassah Foundation, the Global Women’s Funding Network, and the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education. Mike is past President and CEO of the Kauffman Foundation and past President of the Kansas City Royals Baseball Team, and has used his experience in investment and engineering to serve roles on the Board of Directors for Tanabe-Marion Labs, Marion Labs, Nordic Labs, Cerner Inc., Circon, Inc., Santarus Inc., Senomyx Inc., and New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Currently, Mike is a Trustee of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business and he has served nine years on the Board of Directors for the Vail Valley Foundation. These are only a few of the vast array of philanthropic leadership roles that have defined the charitable lives of Karen and Mike. Although they are highly regarded as esteemed individual leaders, the philanthropic work that the couple has accomplished together continues to be highly regarded by their communities. We extend our sincere thanks for their generosity.
