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!

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 ongoing generosity to West Michigan!

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! ❤️🙏❤️

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

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.

Thank you for your support and amazing generosity. Blessings!

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!

Very exciting!! Eager to catch the first game! Thank you for all you do for our community.

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

Congratulation to Grand Rapids community.

Very exciting news.

Fantastic!! Thank you for everything you do for our community

Great contribution to our Commmity! Thank you for All you do!

Who cares about a stadium with your name on it. If you really want to do something for the good of someone other than yourselves, build low income housing for those who are desperately in need. When you meet your maker I don't think He will be very impressed with the stadium. So do something that doesn't benefit you for a change.

Congratulations for Grand Rapids!

Hoping that we can get this as the home field for Michigan's professional Ultimate Frisbee team - the Detroit Mechanix ! If you haven't seen them yet, check them out on watchufa or YouTube and come watch them play next season (home games are in Grand Rapids 🙂

Amway has done so many things to make Grand Rapids GREAT! Another step in the tradition your Family has done.

Well Said...Nice Job..

Congratulations and thank you!

great intention, let's see how low the ticket prices are and if families can actually afford them

Dick DeVos- so proud to know you and Betsy and Eric. I knew his Dad. Love to have a chat with you and Betsy some time. Well connected with Doug and Rich and I were very good friends. Spoke every four weeks or so for years till up to four weeks before he passed. We ,in a much smaller way, obviously, we have spent our lives in philanthropy. Was chairman of several major boards for up to 35 years at a time. I am now 83 and have had several health issues that nearly took me out, but God has always saved me for another day. PTL. Love To you all Jim J

Congratulations ❤️

Congratulations!!

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.
