Each year, First Descents hosts several events to raise money for our programs. Besides attending these events we need volunteers to make them a success. To find out more about how to volunteer please email info@firstdescents.org.

The First Descents' Ball was created to help cover costs of sending these young adults to First Descents programs.

In our inaugural year the First Descents' Ball raised over $120,000 to support our programs. The second year brings us a change in venue to the beautiful Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch which defines Rocky Mountain luxury and the pioneering spirit of the American West.

This evening will allow your imagination to run wild realizing the spirit of laughter, strength and recovery. This out of the ordinary gala experience will allow your brand to connect with attendees in an intimate, touching, fun, unique setting. The night will include out of the box live & silent auction items and a menu influenced by Mark Ferguson prepared especially for First Descents.
