Aspen Snow Ball 2026: Goldie Hawn Honored as Philanthropy’s Grandest Night Returns to the St. Regis

Aspen Snow Ball 2026: Goldie Hawn Honored as Philanthropy’s Grandest Night Returns to the St. Regis

The St. Regis Aspen ballroom has seen its share of glittering nights. But the Aspen Snow Ball 2026 may have topped them all – a sold-out, star-packed evening for the COSF Foundation that once again proved why this is one of America’s most important charity galas.

A Story by Award Winning Managing Editor His Highness Dr. Prince Mario-Max zu Schaumburg-Lippe.

At the center of it all stood Thomas Pierce, the foundation’s CEO and founder, whose vision built the Snow Ball into the powerhouse it is today. His address set the tone: clear, purposeful, and focused on the work ahead.

Goldie Hawn Takes the Night’s Highest Honor

The evening’s emotional peak came with the Philanthropic Impact Achievement Award, presented to Goldie Hawn for a lifetime of charitable work and advocacy. The room rose for her – a genuine, collective ovation for a career spent giving back as generously as she has entertained.

Shari Liu Fellows delivered a speech that landed deeply with the crowd, bringing warmth and humanity to the evening’s mission. And it was a joy to see Princess Natalya Obolensky – granddaughter of the beloved late Prince Ivan Obolensky of New York – attending with her husband.

A Room Full of Influence

Honorary chairs Rachel Zoe, Wendi McLendon-Covey, and William H. Macy lent the night its cultural wattage. Brooke Burke served as US Ambassador, while young Taylen Biggs took the role of Kid Chair – a sweet nod to the next generation of givers. Vice Chairs Scott and Carly Weber kept the machinery running smoothly, alongside co-chairs Carla Maresca Eichler, Julianne Keil, Lacy Nicole, Landen Saks, and Shari Liu Fellows.

The event chairs read like a Hollywood call sheet: Casey Affleck, Michael Bay, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Cara Delevingne, Lukas Gage, Evan Ross, Rumer Willis, and more. Anna Stone stood out among the distinguished guests, embodying the modern philanthropist the Snow Ball keeps attracting.

H.H. Dr. Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe marked his fourth Snow Ball – a streak that speaks to real commitment, not just calendar-filling. His steady presence year after year underscores the gala’s international pull.

Music, Laughter, and Momentum

Chelsea Handler hosted with her trademark sharpness, Wilson Phillips brought the house down with a headline set, and Rumer Willis and Mojave Grey added performances that kept the energy high between the formal program beats.

Behind the glamour, the sponsors made it all possible: Campari Group, Aperol, Espolon, Miraval, Montelobos, Laderach Switzerland, Patron El Alto, Woody Creek Distillers, Caymus Vineyards, The Aspen Times, and many more.

As the night wound down, one thing was obvious: the Aspen Snow Ball isn’t just maintaining its status – it’s raising it. Year after year, Thomas Pierce and his team turn a single evening into momentum that carries the COSF Foundation’s mission forward for the next twelve months.
