Antlers at Vail hotel May event says thank you with a free mountain getaway
Colorado nonprofits will enjoy springtime in Vail with a complimentary party and lodging May 12-14, 2017, for Antlers at Vail hotel’s third annual “Pay It Backward” event.
Vail, Colorado – May 9, 2017 – For the third year, Antlers at Vail hotel will host a special free mountain getaway weekend for Colorado nonprofits – and the list of invitees continues to grow. “We keep adding to our list,” says former Antlers at Vail GM Rob LeVine, who conceived the idea of a May “Pay It Backward” event – a play on the more familiar “Pay It Forward” concept – to thank those who work so hard to help others. The recently retired LeVine continues to be involved with Pay It Backward, this year inviting almost 50 Front Range organizations to participate in the May 12-14, 2017, weekend escape.
Nonprofits are invited to designate the person of their choice – some choose staff, volunteers, or even clients – for two free nights’ lodging and a Saturday night reception with wine and appetizers prepared by Vail catering chef Barry Robinson (a Fireside Productions video of the inaugural 2015 event captures some of the fun). Guests are welcome to bring spouses, family or friends and spend the weekend enjoying the Vail Valley, from the many active outdoor pursuits to just enjoying some well-earned relaxation at the Antlers.
And as the invitation list expands so does the number of attendees, with almost all of the organizations expected to send representatives this year. “Many of our RSVPs are past attendees,” says LeVine, “but there will be some newbies too.”
