The Carol Van Andel Angel of Excellence Dinner & Award Presentation celebrates individuals, businesses and organizations whose exceptional commitment strengthens and elevates VAI’s work and mission. The evening will feature an exclusive video presentation, delectable food and drinks, and remarks from Carol Van Andel and this year’s award recipients.

The event will also welcome the newest members to VAI’s Leadership, Legacy and Founders Societies for 2026. Our Leadership, Legacy and Founders Societies recognize the cumulative contributions of donors who have generously supported Van Andel Institute’s mission. The Leadership Society recognizes those who have raised more than $10,000 and $50,000 cumulatively, the Legacy Society celebrates those who have raised more than $100,000 and $500,000 cumulatively, and the Founders Society honors those who have raised more than $1 million. The names of those inducted are etched into wood blocks that line the walls of the Institute’s lobby.

Please note, this event is invitation only.
