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 />
