We are overflowing with gratitude after an inspiring evening at A Taste of Camp on May 14. The evening was a powerful celebration of 20 years of camp and everything that makes it the life-changing place it is today. From the inspiring stories shared by our campers to the passion of our supporters, volunteers, sponsors, board of directors, and staff, the night was filled with joy, connection, and meaning. Thanks to you, we strengthened the community that makes camp possible for children and families.

2026 Honorees
2026 Superhero Award Recipient – The Younoszai Family
One of the evening’s most memorable moments is always recognizing our Superhero Award Recipients. The Superhero Award is presented to supporters who have made a lasting, heroic difference at Roundup River Ranch.
As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are proud to honor the Younoszai family with the 2026 Superhero Award at A Taste of Camp in Denver on May 14. From Dr. Adel Younoszai’s lifelong commitment to service to Megan’s longstanding volunteer involvement, and the ways their children, Nolan, Maya, and Cole, have embraced camp, the family exemplifies how the spirit of camp extends far beyond a single experience, shaping lives and inspiring ongoing service.
Their journey embodies the spirit of camp – creating joy, connection, independence, and hope – and is a powerful reminder of what is possible when a family leads with heart. Thanks to Dr. Adel and Megan, their children – Nolan, Maya, and Cole – discovered the life-changing power of camp at a young age, creating memories that helped shape who they are today. As they grew, each chose to give back as volunteers, embodying the values of kindness, compassion, and connection that are at the heart of our mission. Their involvement is a living testament to how the spirit of camp thrives across generations of their family.
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.
From offering financial guidance during our capital campaign to serving on our Board and Advisory Committee, Alpine Bank’s partnership has never wavered. Their belief in long-term, community-based impact is reflected in their philanthropy, employee volunteerism, and generous sponsorship of signature events including A Taste of Camp and A Grateful Harvest.
We are deeply grateful to Alpine Bank and their dedicated employees – true superheroes whose commitment ensures camp remains free to every child and family we serve.
