Our Mission
Creative Community Entertainment (CCE) was established in 2023 to honor veterans and active military members while enriching the West Michigan community through impactful events. CCE connects veterans, their families, and local youth through celebration, support, and service-based programs grounded in action and sustainability.
Signature initiatives include the Passion and Props Airshow—a thrilling annual showcase of military aeronautics—and the Celebration of Service, a heartfelt tribute to veterans and community strength. CCE also partners with Vetacon, a summer arts and crafts fair highlighting veteran talent, creativity, and resilience.
With over 15 years of experience managing community events and supporting organizations like the American Legion and VFW posts, CCE bridges military service and community involvement. The mission is clear: celebrate, connect, and support veterans while building generational opportunities for youth through STEM+A innovation and civic engagement.
