The tenth annual Black Diamond Ball, the Vail Valley Foundation’s largest fundraiser of the year, will be held at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Bachelor Gulch on Friday, December 5th, at 6:00 pm. It will generate funds to enhance our mountain community through athletics, education and the cultural arts. 

Not able to attend the Ball? Fear not! You can still support the VVF – and get some early Holiday shopping done – through this year’s new three interactive auctions. Place bids today from the comfort of your home via the below options:

·         Ebay Online Auction – bid via Ebay on everything from dry cleaning to dining, from golf to gear.  Bidding is open from Wednesday, November 26 at 7pm to Saturday December 6 at 7pm. You do not need to attend the event to win these items.

·         Double Diamond Auction – our most high-end items! View one-of-a-kind lots, ranging from igloo parties to incredible getaways… call Molly McBride at 970-949-1999 to place your pre-auction bid which we will represent for you on the night of the event.  You need not be at the event to win!
