Goldie Hawn Honored for Philanthropy at Aspen Snow Ball
On February 13, 2026, it was announced that the esteemed Goldie Hawn will be presented with the Philanthropic Impact Achievement Award at the 4th annual Aspen Snow Ball. The star-studded gala, scheduled for March 21 at the luxurious St. Regis Aspen Resort, will gather prominent figures under the enchanting theme of "pure imagination," drawing inspiration from the beloved tale of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Adding to the evening's allure, Hawn's daughter, the recently Oscar-nominated actress Kate Hudson, is set to captivate attendees with a special musical performance. Guiding the festivities will be the sharp-witted Chelsea Handler, ensuring a night filled with warmth and entertainment. Hawn, a familiar face in Aspen with a family residence in the area, shared her deep appreciation for the recognition, emphasizing her admiration for the unwavering spirit of the Children's Oncology Support Fund (COSF) and the families it serves. She underscored the personal joy she finds in contributing to a community that champions courage and holistic care. Thomas Pierce, founding chairman of COSF and chair of the Aspen Snow Ball, lauded Hawn's selection as a true privilege, highlighting her lifelong commitment to mental health awareness through initiatives like MindUP. He drew a powerful connection between Hawn's work and COSF's mission, stressing the inseparable link between mental well-being and physical healing for children battling cancer. Since its establishment in January 2023, COSF has successfully garnered over $7 million, directly benefiting pediatric cancer research and essential wellness programs.
This event underscores the powerful intersection of celebrity, philanthropy, and community engagement. Goldie Hawn's recognition not only celebrates her individual contributions but also shines a light on the critical importance of mental health support for children, especially those facing severe illnesses. It's a reminder that even in the dazzling world of entertainment, there's a profound commitment to making a tangible difference in people's lives.
