Wonderful announcement in Grand Rapids this morning celebrating the newly named Amway Stadium in downtown Grand Rapids. What excites me the most about this new soccer stadium is we're putting together a place where families can come together to create memories, and where kids can cheer on some of their favorite athletes. This will be a special place for west Michigan and can't wait for the first game ! 😊 ... See MoreSee Less

Awesome and thanks, for all, all of you do for this community!

Thank you for your ongoing generosity to West Michigan!

Huge. The biggest story is exactly what you said...adding yet another dimension to the success of the region. Grand Rapids is sure a long way from the Grand Ragity or Bland Rapids it was in the 1980's after the furniture industry and manufacturing industry died. The region is blessed to have multiple families that committed and continue to commit countless hours and financial resources from their own pockets to reinvent the area.

Thank you for your continued support of the Grand Rapids community! I hear those who criticize. We've been blessed with your generosity so many times they are spoiled and take for granted all that Amway and many others leaders in the community have given to get us where we are now...an "instant" success which started in about 1980 with the acquisition of The Pantlind Hotel. I remember how bad downtown was before that and find it exciting when I see all the activity on the streets of the City in the evenings now. We, together with Ann Arbor, are the envy of most every other City in the state because of it and you should know you all are very much appreciated.

God bless you and your entire family. Giving is exactly what you and your wonderful family are all about. I feel blessed and fortunate to have known your dear father and to know your brother, Dan. Thank you for continuing to make the world a better place! ❤️🙏❤️

I feel blessed to live in a city where so many support it with their philanthropy. Thankyou.

This is awesome! My eight year old son just started playing club soccer and LOVES it. I can’t wait to take him to a game!

Amway and the Devos and Van Andel families bring communities together.❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for your continued generosity and support of Grand Rapids.

This Veterans Day, we celebrate and thank the brave men and women who fought for the freedoms we cherish. Folks like my father and Jay Van Andel, who served in WWII, shared a love of country and did everything they could to protect our Nation's liberty. God bless our Veterans! ... See MoreSee Less

Freedom. Family. Hope. Reward. These fundamentals have served to guide Amway for 65 years as of tomorrow. Instilled by my Father and Jay Van Andel, these principles have helped ensure the passion for this business has stayed alive in the same way it was when launched all those years ago. Wishing you all a happy Founders' Day! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your existence, Amway is the best thing that has ever happened to me. God's reward is eternal.

What a beautiful legacy. I'm happy I lived in Grand Rapids for 20 years so I could meet and learn more about your family and the VanAndel's and Meijer's. So many more to mention. Prayers for continued blessings 🙌

Proud of the number of Michiganders who stepped up and voted to elect a Republican State House Majority in Michigan! Congratulations to all the new members - Ron Robinson (58), Steve Frisbie (44), Rylee Linting (27), and Karl Bohnak (109) !!

Electing a Republican majority in the State House is just the first step in getting Michigan back on track. I know these House Republicans are committed to doing all they can to work with anyone who shares their positive vision for Michigan. Lets get to work ☺!! www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/05/michigan-house-of-representatives-ke...

If you haven't cast your vote yet, be sure to get out and VOTE today !! We are blessed to live in a Nation where we are free to elect our local, state, and national leaders. As for our family, we will be watching the race for the Michigan state House extra closely. After two years of complete Democrat control in Lansing, we believe it's time to elect a Republican House Majority. I've had the privilege of meeting many Republicans running for the state House, and they are a thoughtful and dedicated group. The Democrats have had their chance the last two years, and Michigan has only fallen further behind as a result. Its time for a change in Lansing !! ... See MoreSee Less
