The Antlers at Vail honored for community impact

The Antlers at Vail hotel has received the Community Impact Award from Vail Valley Partnership. The Antlers was one of 13 Vail area organizations honored May 13 at the Vail Valley Partnership’s 13th Annual Success Awards.

Even as the awards ceremony was taking place, representatives from more than 20 Colorado Front Range nonprofit organizations were checking into the Antlers to participate in the hotel’s annual Pay It Backward weekend – one of Antlers at Vail’s many community-oriented initiatives (captured on video again this year by Fireside Productions).

The just-completed spring Pay It Backward weekend was the second annual invitation by Antlers at Vail to a long list of Front Range nonprofits, offering two nights’ free lodging and a Saturday thank-you reception in gratitude for all they do for the communities they serve.

The Vail Valley Partnership Success Award for Community Impact is given annually to a person or organization who has contributed to the public good through programs, funding, volunteerism and generally giving back to the community. The Antlers won the award from among a 2016 field of finalists that also included Habitat for Humanity Vail Valley and Vail Valley Charitable Fund.

In addition to its annual Pay It Backward event, the Antlers at Vail is deeply involved in the local Vail community, participating as a supporting member or sponsor of numerous area organizations and initiatives, hosting community events, providing financial contributions and staff volunteering.

Antlers GM Rob LeVine was also honored individually at the awards ceremony as Vail Valley Partnership Member of the Year.
