Letter: Gratitude for a Remarkable Hike, Wine & Dine

On behalf of our staff and patients at Vail Health Shaw Cancer Center, I want to extend heartfelt thanks to our incredible community for making this year’s 17th annual Hike, Wine & Dine an unforgettable success.

Thanks to your enthusiastic support, we exceeded our fundraising goal, raising over $260,000 to benefit Shaw’s Spirit of Survival program and the cancer patients and survivors it serves. The event sold out, and the energy along the trail was nothing short of electric.

It was a perfect fall day — crisp mountain air, golden aspens shimmering with the season’s change, and a trail filled with laughter, connection and purpose. We are especially grateful to Beaver Creek for hosting us in such a stunning setting, and to the local restaurants that generously donated their time and delicious samples to elevate the experience for all attendees.

To our wonderful supporters, your presence and generosity helped create a day that was not only beautiful but deeply meaningful. Every step taken and every dollar raised brings hope and healing to those facing cancer in our community. We are grateful beyond words for our community’s continued commitment to this cause.
