19th Annual Tin Cup Challenge Launches June 12 — Teton Valley Invited to Give Local!
Driggs, ID, June 12, 2026 — The Community Foundation of Teton Valley is proud to launch the 19th Annual Tin Cup Challenge, a collaborative fundraiser that unites neighbors across the valley to support the good causes that make life in the Tetons vibrant, resilient, and connected.
From Friday, June 12, through Friday, July 24, at 5 PM, give to your favorite local nonprofits through a single donation, supported by a pooled matching grant from generous businesses and individual Challengers. This means your gift goes further to help the critical work and impact of the causes you care about most.
“Whether you’ve lived here for decades or recently moved to Teton Valley, this is an exciting opportunity to be part of something meaningful,” said Bonnie Self, Executive Director of the Community Foundation. “Every gift supports critical causes and raises vital funds for organizations that make our community stronger.”
Why it Matters
Engaging one in three households, the Tin Cup Challenge has raised more than $30.8 million for organizations across Teton Valley over the past 18 years. These funds support vital programs in education, healthcare, social services, conservation, animal welfare, the arts, recreation, and more. In 2025, the community helped raise $3.8 million invested throughout the valley, fueling the daily work that keeps our community thriving year-round.
