Donations Sought for Severely Injured Officer
Vail Police Officer Stephen Williams was seriously injured on June 19.
UPDATE - JUNE 26, 2025: Due to the creation of a fake account impersonating the Stephen Williams Fund, the Venmo account has been disabled. The Vail Police Department is asking those who wish to donate to use the family’s GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-stephen-heal-from-motorcycle-crash. All donations already received through Venmo have been safely deposited at Alpine Bank.
------------------------------------------------
On June 19, Vail Police Officer Stephen Williams was severely injured when a truck struck his motorcycle on I-70 during his commute to work. While his helmet and protective clothing likely saved his life, Williams sustained serious internal injuries as well as multiple broken bones and fractures.
Officer Williams has served the residents and guests of Vail for close to 6 years. He is facing a long recovery and his family needs support. A member of the Town of Vail’s HR Department is collecting funds via a dedicated Venmo account: @Stephen-Williams-Fund. If required, the last four digits of the associated phone number are 9678.
Donations will be deposited directly into an account for the family at Alpine Bank. Unlike online donation platforms, this ensures 100% of the money collected will go to the Williams family, without any fees or deductions. Contributors are asked to include the description “Charitable donation to the Stephen Williams Support Fund.”
