The first was a cocktail reception hosted at a private ranch owned by longtime hospital supporters. More than 150 guests listened to the sounds of a string quartet of students from the Aspen Music Festival and remarks from the foundation's VP and CEO Anne Neeson, as well as Memorial Hermann's president and CEO David Callender. They both highlighted the importance of Life Flight, the Red Duke Trauma Institute, TIRR Memorial Hermann and the John S. Dunn Burn Center.
The next morning, a crowd gathered for brunch at The Garden at Hotel Jerome, which was decorated by Indigenous Design with beautiful, organic floral arrangements. The daytime event, featuring a soundtrack courtesy of Aspen's DJ Savy, was hosted by Melissa Juneau and Leticia Trauber, whose daughter Lexi Trauber attended on her behalf.
The weekend festivities concluded with the distribution of a parting gift in the form of a gilded Aspen-leaf ornament, representing the donation of Aspen trees by the Memorial Hermann Foundation to the Aspen School District, whose campus has suffered many tree losses.
