- Cars Against Cancer : This car show supports cancer research at the Van Andel Institute. The fifth annual event is scheduled for September 13, 2025, in Holland, MI, with 100% of proceeds going directly to cancer research. The event welcomes all cars and motorcycles and is sponsored by the Lakeshore Corvette Club
