Our Mission

At the YETI Foundation, our mission is to provide academic and athletic opportunities for youth athletes in the Vail Valley. We are committed to removing financial barriers and supporting participation across as many sports as possible, empowering young people to grow, compete, and succeed on and off the field, court, ice or hill.

We believe sports can play a powerful role in shaping a child’s life, building confidence, teaching discipline, and fostering teamwork while helping kids stay active and healthy. Inspired by the Vail Yeti Hockey Team and a shared commitment to giving back, we are driven to make a meaningful difference in youth sports across our community.
