2025 Winterfest Celebration

Join Van Andel Institute for a jubilant gathering as we mark the 20th annual Winterfest Celebration at the Cascade Hills Country Club on Thursday, Feb. 20.

The evening will mark two decades of cheerful company, delectable drinks and inspiring action as the community gathers to support Parkinson’s disease research. You’ll hear the latest Institute developments from VAI Chairman and CEO David Van Andel, and Dr. Darren Moore will deliver insights into the latest research breakthroughs. Fellow bright minds and ardent supporters will meet for food and drinks — including an exclusive 20th anniversary signature cocktail.

Thanks to the generosity of countless VAI supporters, Winterfest has supercharged Parkinson’s research, unlocking new diagnosis tools and potential therapies to slow or stop disease progression. You can make your mark on the next generation of research at this anniversary celebration through a paddle raise, silent auction and raffle, all featuring exclusive, can’t miss items.

Over the last 19 years, we’ve rallied to raise more than $2.6 million — will you join us as we celebrate two decades and attempt to break the $3 million mark? As always, all proceeds from Winterfest go toward Parkinson’s disease research.

Smart casual attire is suggested. Complimentary valet parking will be available at the main club entrance.
