The Sonnenalp of Vail Foundation is a Colorado 501©(3) non-profit charitable Foundation organized to enhance the quality of life for residents of the Greater Vail Valley and Eagle County communities with a particular focus on addressing the medical and educational needs of families and children which are not currently being met by existing agencies and charitable organizations.
The Sonnenalp of Vail Foundation has made an everlasting impact on the lives of people living in our Eagle Valley. The Foundation contributes over $75,000 annually in silent auction items to local fundraising efforts to benefit both public and private school education, early childhood learning programs, public libraries, community service projects and individuals’/families’ benefits to help with extraordinary medical expenses. In addition, the Foundation has made donations in support of medical treatment and research facilities in the Denver area which provide specialized services currently unavailable in our area.
The annual Scramble Against Cancer Golf Tournament was introduced in 1999 and since then has generated over $1M net proceeds donated to the Sonnenalp Diagnostic Breast Imaging Center, opened in 2002, located in the Shaw Cancer Center in Edwards, Colorado. This much-needed facility serves the entire central Rocky Mountain region of Colorado and provides cancer patients with medical services and housing locally; so the patients do not need to commute to Denver or Grand Junction for medical tests and treatments. On July 12, 2010, we celebrated our 12th anniversary of this popular event!
