Crested Butte Land Trust Gala

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who made Saturday’s Gala so special—our volunteers, donors, and incredible community. The 7th Annual Crested Butte Land Trust Gala, presented by Margery Feldberg and Jeremy Levin, was a true celebration of shared purpose and the lands and waters that shape our lives. With your support, we raised $1.3 million for local land and water conservation. We’re so grateful to do this work with you.

Save the Date:
Join us next year for the 8th Annual Starry Evening Gala on Saturday, July 11, 2026!
