Together, Sue and Mike Rushmore have brought their energetic approach to the Eagle River Valley’s nonprofit world in a number of impactful ways. They have looked for areas of need, filled those needs, built new programs and organizations, and bolstered existing ones. The end result is an impressive list of remarkable positive outcomes for the Eagle River Valley community.
Therefore, for their many contributions to this community, the Vail Valley Foundation is proud to recognize Sue and Mike Rushmore as the 2025 Vail Valley Citizens of the Year.
2024 Vail Valley Volunteers of the Year
Kirsten and Bill Zeller’s volunteer spirit has been a valuable benefit to the Vail Valley Foundation and many other organizations for decades.

The Zellers have been steadfast supporters of SKI for MS as well as Pink Vail, raising thousands of dollars for cancer patients each year.
