The Perot Foundation and the Sarah and Ross Perot, Jr. Foundation donated $250,000 each to the Vail Interfaith Chapel’s $10 million Capital Campaign, bringing the total raised in Phase 1 of the campaign to $3.8 million.
Ross Perot and his wife Margot have a long history in Vail, having purchased their home in the resort town in the mid-1970s. Ross Perot, who died in 2019, and Margot spent the past several decades enjoying time in Vail with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
“This gift to the chapel is part of Ross’ legacy,” said Margot Perot. “We chose Vail because of our love of skiing, the outdoors and the beauty of the mountains. We also made some wonderful friends early on. As a center of the community’s spirituality and history, we felt retaining the chapel for years to come is very important. We hope this inspires others to do the same.”
