Circle of Distinction 
The Circle of Distinction Donor Society honors individuals 
and organizations whose cumulative giving totals $25,000 
or more, recognizing their extraordinary commitment to 
advancing our mission. In 2025, members were celebrated 
at the Circle of Distinction Night of Gratitude, themed 
Yellowstone | A Night at Dutton Ranch. The evening blended 
Western elegance with the rugged charm of the Yellowstone 
frontier, featuring themed cocktails, ranch-inspired fare, 
and the warm spirit of community. Guests also heard from 
HonorHealth physician and director of Integrative Medicine 
Dr. Shad Marvasti, who shared insights on integrative health 
and lifestyle medicine, highlighting the meaningful impact 
of philanthropic support on whole-person care.
