A Grateful Harvest
A GRATEFUL HARVEST
Date: 8/15/2026
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Camp | 8333 Colorado River Road, Gypsum, CO
Thank you for celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Roundup River Ranch with us at A Grateful Harvest under the roof of Trent’s Cookhouse. Thanks to a sold-out crowd of 265 guests and your heartfelt generosity, we raised $2,070,000…and counting, making our 20th Anniversary celebration the most successful A Grateful Harvest in our history.
One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was hearing from camper mom Jenna, during the spotlight video, who shared the impact camp has had on Rohan and their entire family.
“It was the first time in our medical journey that I had been able to take a deep breath. And it was because of Roundup River Ranch. I want donors and supporters to hear a heartfelt thank you, because it truly is life changing.”
THANK YOU TO THE CHEFS!
We extend our sincere appreciation to our four exceptional chefs – Brian Ackerman, Chris Schmidt, Paul Anders, and Anthony Mazza – all who generously donated their time and culinary talents to prepare this year’s beautifully curated multi-course dinner.
2026 HONOREES
2026 Paul Newman Legacy Award Honoree – Ruth Johnson
This anniversary year is especially meaningful as we honor Ruth Johnson, founding president and CEO, with the Paul Newman Legacy Award. The Paul Newman Legacy Award celebrates individuals who, like Paul Newman, have made a lasting commitment to the long-term sustainability of camp. Because of her leadership, and the community she galvanized, Roundup River Ranch is not only thriving today, but positioned to flourish well into the future. Her legacy lives on in every laugh that echoes across camp, every obstacle bravely overcome, and every family who finds hope within the Roundup River Ranch community.
2026 Community Champion Recipient – Alpine Bank
The Community Champion Award honors a corporate partner whose commitment to Roundup River Ranch has remained steadfast since our earliest days. For over 20 years, Alpine Bank has exemplified what it means to be a true community partner- providing not only financial support, but leadership, expertise, and heartfelt advocacy for children with life-altering diagnoses and their families.
