Welcome to Great Lakes Pride & Shine!

Banner of Honor
Great Lakes Pride & Shine supports our military and our veterans. We want to honor those who have selflessly served their country both past and present. To show our support we are creating a Banner of Honor which will be displayed at the show on June 9th and 10th, 2023 at the Hudsonville Community Fairgrounds.
About Us
In the fall of 2020 a group of individuals came together with the idea to put a non judged local truck show together to raise money & help cover treatment costs for a fellow driver in West Michigan who had been battling cancer for several years. The show was so well received within the community that what we had planned to be a “one and done” show, had several requests that it be continued the following year.
Great Lakes Pride & Shine was officially formed the following year with 5 active board members from the trucking community made up of mechanics, drivers, instructors, and salesmen and remains 100% volunteer based.
Unfortunately, the trucking community lost Luke “Cool Hand” Tanis who this event originally started for in February of 2022, but are blessed to have his family continue to come and support the event along with displaying Luke’s truck, “Miss Katie.”
Great Lakes Pride & Shine is a registered 501(c)3 non profit organization dedicated to working with other organizations in West Michigan to make a positive impact within our community as well as shining a positive light on the trucking community.
Our 2023 Beneficiary:
On average 22 veterans commit suicide every day. That’s 22 too many.
At 92 for 22 we are working to eliminate that statistic.
Our goal is to stand behind and fight for those who fought for us. If we don’t, who will?
How 92 For 22 Began:
92 For 22 originated in Michigan, April 2017 when a group of veterans decided to walk the White Pine Trail which runs 92 miles from Comstock Park to Cadillac, Michigan. The goal was to raise awareness of veteran suicide and the effects of PTS. A total of 11 veterans participated in the walk and raised $6,644. This money was donated to Help For Our Disabled Troops (HFODT) a 501c3 nonprofit organization that adapts homes for injured Veterans as well as helping with therapeutic accommodations.
