 Breakfast of Champions®

Thursday, October 15, 2026 at Broadmoor Hall
7:00 - 9:00 am MST

Each year, Peak Vista brings our community together to celebrate Olympic and Paralympic champions alongside local Champions of Community Health. Their stories of perseverance, resilience, and compassion remind us that heroism is not reserved for the world stage. It happens around us every day.

At Peak Vista, we see that strength in our patients, who overcome barriers while continuing to show up for their families, work, and community.

  Become a Partner

Breakfast of Champions® is Peak Vista’s signature fundraising event. The event brings together leaders from the corporate, medical, and philanthropic communities, along with friends and fans of the Champions.

Guests hear from Athlete Champions and local Champions of Community Health. Together, their stories highlight perseverance, service, and the power of community.

2026 marks Peak Vista’s 22nd Breakfast of Champions®. The event frequently sells out, and single tickets will be available starting August 1.

Partnerships help make Breakfast of Champions® possible. They also help Peak Vista expand access to care for patients and families across our community.

  Access to Integrated Care

Peak Vista served 70,195 patients in 2025. Many patients face barriers such as cost, lack of insurance, transportation, or language.

Your support helps Peak Vista provide medical, dental, and behavioral health care in one connected system of care.

  Supporting Families

A gift of $5,000 provides one year of health care for an uninsured family of four.

Partnership support helps families get care before health needs become bigger, more expensive, or harder to treat.

  Funding Uncompensated Care

100% of proceeds from the 2026 Breakfast of Champions® support Uncompensated Care.

This support helps Peak Vista continue caring for patients who have no insurance, limited insurance, or no way to pay for essential care.

Businesses, organizations, and individuals can choose the partnership option that best fits their goals. Because each company’s tax position is different, partners should consult their tax advisor when choosing the option that is best for them.

  • A Philanthropic Partnership is for partners who want to support Peak Vista’s mission of removing barriers to medical, dental, and behavioral health care.
  • A Marketing Partnership is for partners who want sponsorship visibility connected to the event, such as logo placement and recognition opportunities.
