The Vail Valley Charitable Fund is proud to be named a recipient of funds from this extraordinary event. Join us at the finish line in Lionshead Village, Vail, Colorado – Friday, September 16, from 2 pm – 5 pm.

The Colorado Grand® is an annual charity tour for 1960 and earlier sports and race cars of distinction. Every September, at the peak of the fall color season, approximately 85 vintage cars are driven in this relaxed, non-competitive event, covering 1,000 miles through the Rockies in five days. The event is run with the cooperation of the Colorado State Patrol, and spectators are invited to see the cars and meet their owners.

The tour attracts entrants from around the world and always includes several 1920’s and 1930’s cars. Typical makes include Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Porsche, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, Maserati, Allard, and such exotic names as Amilcar, Cisitalia, Squire, Delahaye, and Talbot-Lago.

The Colorado Grand® currently generates well over $500,000 annually for small Colorado charities and Western Slope towns, as well as college scholarships to graduating high-school seniors in those towns. Current charities include the Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation, Flight for Life, CASA, and medical facilities in small towns. Cumulative donations since 1989 are over $7.7 million. Thank you to The Colorado Grand Team for being so thoughtful and generous towards the Vail Valley Charitable Fund.
