We've been busy! Here’s a glimpse of our past few weeks.
Let's go GOLD!
More than 60 of the people we serve came together at Van Andel Arena for an exciting game between the Grand Rapids Gold and the Maine Celtics. The crowd was full of energy, the music kept everyone pumped, and the plays on the court had everyone on the edge of their seats. To top it off, several people caught free t-shirts being thrown into the stands! It was a great day, and we can't wait for the next game.
“The best day of the year” is how many of our staff describe the Talent Show! Our Community Support Groups took the stage, singing their hearts out and sharing their talents. We cheered for over 20 incredible performances, from dancing to poetry to singing. The setlist had something for everyone: classics like Eye of the Tiger and You've Got a Friend in Me, alongside country favorites like Cowboy Casanova and Rhinestone Cowboy. Every performer gave it their all, making it a day to remember!
The best is yet to come! Here's what's happening next.
