Fischer, Stiller: RFV Best Buddies expresses gratitude
Best Buddies in the Roaring Fork Valley would like to extend our gratitude to the countless volunteers and participants from Aspen through Glenwood Springs who came together to support our Inaugural Champion of the Year event. We are delighted to join forces with our community, engaging volunteers from ages 12 through 70, to uplift our mission of inclusion for individuals experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Thank you to our title sponsor, the Rosenberg Family, and to our incredible host committee: Carla Maresca Eichler, Lotasi Designs (event chair), Alicia and Daniel Adams (Alicia Adams Alpaca), Jane Becnel, Chuck and Brielle Block, Jamie Levitt & CJ Burger, Marla Butler, Chequers Home, Lauren and Ryan Elston, Aaron King, Mandy and Andy Welgos, The McLaughlin Team, Amy Mottier, Kimberly and Scott Resnick, Drita and Ricky Rosin, Skyline Estate Management & Gus Oliver, and Michelle and Ken Stiller.
We also want to recognize the 200+ individuals who joined us that evening to help us reach our goal as we endeavor to continue implementing our free programs.
Thank you,

Mawa McQueen’s ‘Unstoppable Ambition’
Mawa Mcqueen isn’t slowing down any time soon. The Aspen-based chef, entrepreneur, and author has had a remarkable couple of years. She opened Mawita in Snowmass Village, added a second location of The Crepe Shack in downtown Aspen, and landed on the MICHELIN Guide Recommended list. She was also the subject of a French documentary which garnered her new attention in the country where she was raised after leaving her native Ivory Coast as a young girl.
