🌟 Celebrate Community. Invest in Impact.

The Community Spirit Awards honor the people and organizations driving real change in Grand Rapids—from grassroots organizers to local leaders. This year, we’re spotlighting a powerful group of honorees as part of our 25th anniversary celebration and $25,000 fundraising goal.

It’s more than a celebration—it’s a call to invest in people over systems.
