Our final day of Volunteer Appreciation Week features Eliza Pyke!
“I decided to join the NextGen Volunteer Programs for the 2025 GoPro Mountain Games and 2025 Stifel Birds of Prey because it gave me the unique opportunity to give back to the community and make a meaningful impact at events surrounding international athletics. This program brings so many people together and allows us to be a part of something bigger than ourselves through such a fun experience.”

Day 7 of Volunteer Appreciation Week features Jill Anderson and her husband, John.
“I stumbled upon the Vail Dance Festival years ago while staying at our timeshare, when the Bolshoi Ballet was here. I was hooked and have been attending ever since. Several years ago, I decided to give back and usher the performances. It’s been so fun! I’ve met great people and helping Festival Patrons is rewarding. The Vail Valley Foundation is an absolute joy to volunteer for, and I feel very appreciated. My husband John joined once he retired, and chose to be a volunteer driver. He loves getting to meet the dancers. We make a vacation out of it every summer!”
From ushering performances to supporting artists behind the scenes, Jill and John help make the Vail Dance Festival a welcoming and memorable experience for all. We’re so grateful for their dedication and the joy they bring to our community 🙌

Day 6 of Volunteer Appreciation Week features Tamara Higgins!
“I love supporting the Amp Summer Concerts because of the energy and positivity of our wonderful friends and neighbors here in the Vail Valley. It’s a social experience, as much as a concert. After volunteering for the Vail Valley Foundation for 10 years now, I know so many volunteers just like me who love our valley and our wonderful venues for great music, sports, and more. We are the lucky ones, and so it’s easy to volunteer year after year!”
From welcoming concertgoers to helping create an unforgettable atmosphere, volunteers like Tamara are a big part of what makes the Amp Summer Concerts so special. We’re grateful for her years of dedication and love for this community 🙌

Day 5 of Volunteer Appreciation Week features Elaine Mah and her children, Brandon, Jennifer, and Nicole.
“Our family likes volunteering with the Vail Valley Foundation at the Stifel Birds of Prey event because we enjoy working as part of a team. We love seeing the professional ski racers and being close to the excitement of the race. The swag, food, and camaraderie with other volunteers also make the experience fun and rewarding. We volunteer as a family because we enjoy working together and giving back to our community. We also appreciate how the Stifel Birds of Prey has two volunteer teams, the Talon Crew and the Raptor Crew. Each crew plays an important role, and together they help create a great race event.
‘If you want it to snow, schedule a ski race!’”
From supporting race operations to bringing energy and teamwork, volunteers like the Mahs help make Stifel Birds of Prey such a special event. We’re so grateful for the time, spirit, and dedication they bring year after year 🙌

Day 4 of Volunteer Appreciation Week features Ron Gruber and his work with Protect Our Playground at the GoPro Mountain Games!
“I love volunteering with the Vail Valley Foundation because they truly take care of their volunteers. I’m especially passionate about zero-waste and sustainability volunteer roles, such as the Protect Our Playground initiative, because they let me connect with the community around an issue that really matters. We all have a part to play in reducing overconsumption and waste, and volunteering gives me a chance to give back to Mother Nature while inspiring others to do the same.”
On Earth Day, we’re especially proud to recognize volunteers like Ron who help us walk the sustainable talk. Through our Protect Our Playground initiatives, volunteers like Ron play a huge role in keeping the Mountain Games sustainable and protecting the places we love.
