<p></p>



<p>This October, the Grand Rapids Kroc Center is celebrating a very special milestone —&nbsp;<strong>15 years of serving our community</strong>. Since opening our doors in 2010, the Kroc has been a place where families, seniors, and individuals come together to grow in faith, fitness, arts, and community life.</p>



<p>Now, we want to celebrate this journey with YOU! Throughout the month of October, we’ll be hosting fun activities, challenges, and specials to say thank you to our members and neighbors.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">15 for 15 Kroc Challenge</h3>



<p>Take part in the&nbsp;<strong>15 for 15 Kroc Challenge</strong>! Complete activities across the Kroc, earn points, and once you hit 15 points, you’ll receive a&nbsp;<strong>special edition 15th Anniversary T-shirt</strong>. Challenge cards are available at the&nbsp;<strong>Welcome Desk or Fitness Desk</strong>&nbsp;beginning October 1.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gratitude Wall</h3>



<p>We invite you to add to our <strong>Kroc Refrigerator Gratitude Wall</strong>. Share what you’re thankful for about the Kroc, and we’ll display your notes all month long.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Membership Special</h3>



<p>Starting&nbsp;<strong>October 1</strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>first 15 new members</strong>&nbsp;can join for only&nbsp;<strong>$15 for their first month</strong>&nbsp;(registration fee applies, regular rates resume after). This is the perfect time to invite your friends and family to be part of the Kroc community.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Anniversary Day — October 23</h3>



<p>On our actual anniversary, we’ll celebrate with:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Morning &amp; Evening Treats</strong> in the lobby</li>



<li>A fun <strong>Photo Booth</strong> to capture the moment</li>



<li><strong>Bring a Friend Free</strong> for all members (one guest per member present)</li>
</ul>



<p>From fitness to fun, community to celebration — we’re excited to mark this milestone with you. Thank you for being part of our story, and here’s to the next 15 years together!</p>
