EVENTS<br />

<strong>Winter</strong>fest Celebration<br />

Returning for its 17th year, Grand Rapids’ winter extravaganza<br />

featured culinary creations, delectable drinks and thrilling<br />

entertainment, all with the goal <strong>of</strong> benefiting Parkinson’s<br />

disease research. Attendees gathered at Cascade Hills Country<br />

Club to enjoy food and cocktails, live musical entertainment and<br />

a paddle raise auction. Guests saw the direct impact <strong>of</strong> their<br />

support as Parkinson’s disease advocates shared their stories,<br />

bringing a personal spotlight to the value <strong>of</strong> scientific exploration.<br />

In its 16-year history, this signature event has raised more than<br />

$2 million to benefit Parkinson’s research at VAI.<br />

Thank you to our Title Sponsor, Buist Electric.<br />
