1. Say "thank you" to our troops! Throughout the month of November, anyone attending events at Van Andel Arena or DeVos Performance Hall is encouraged to bring "thank you" cards for active-duty military and veterans.
These unsealed cards can be dropped off at the Van Andel Guest Services booth and at the DeVos Performance Hall south coat check desk.
If you submit a card, you'll be entered for a chance to win tickets to either the Trans-Siberian Orchestra or the Chevy Chase Live: Christmas Vacation Show.
This is the 5th year that the venues have collected "thank you" cards.
