Vine & Vinyl: Stories That Move Us
July 29, 2026
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (July 29, 2026) – The Saint Mary’s Foundation,a member of Trinity Health and the designated philanthropic and charitable arm for Trinity Health Grand Rapids, is excited to announce the return of Vine & Vinyl: Stories That Move Us on Thursday, September 10, 2026, with tickets now available for purchase. This year’s signature fundraising event has been reimagined to feature “Stories That Move Us”, spotlighting the powerful stories of healing, hope, and human connection at Trinity Health.
“Vine & Vinyl is rooted in sharing with our community the truly inspirational stories that take place inside our hospital every single day,” said Michelle Rabideau, President, Saint Mary’s Foundation. “We believe it’s important to spotlight these experiences as we further our mission of being a transformative and healing presence in our greater Grand Rapids community.”
By popular request, this year’s returning headliners include patients and families whose stories of overcoming cancer, receiving lifesaving kidney care, navigating neurological conditions such as epilepsy, ALS and Parkinson's disease, and welcoming a child through a life-changing NICU journey have inspired our community.
This year’s event will be held inside The Big Room at SILVA (975 Ottawa Ave. NW, Grand Rapids, MI), a larger event space than used in previous years.
Guests will enjoy handpicked vinyl sets spun live by a favorite local DJ, curated wines and craft beverages, and elevated bites – all woven together with incredible stories that honor the journeys of our patients and caregivers. It’s an evening designed to spark conversation, celebrate resilience, and connect our community around the mission of compassionate care.
“In past years, Vine & Vinyl has been a smaller, more intimate event,” said Rabideau. “By hosting it at The Big Room this year, we will be able to share this amazing experience with more of the Grand Rapids community.”
Individual tickets are $150 and can be purchased here. Sponsorships are also available. All proceeds directly benefit Saint Mary’s Foundation, which supports programs and projects that provide an exceptional care experience for our patients, their families and our colleagues.
