What to Expect

Rialzo XII – Wonderland

Nothing’s Impossible!

Rialzo XII, Meridian Health Services’ annual charity gala, will take you through the rabbit hole to a world of wonderment and surprise where “Nothing’s Impossible!” It’s a PARTY with a PURPOSE! Purchase your ticket now to join us Saturday, May 6 at the Horizon Convention Center for this magical event.

At this year’s Rialzo, we are raising funds to support the dire need for increased mental and physical health services for children in schools through Meridian’s School-Based Health Clinics. This essential presence in schools broadens access to much-needed services for students, teachers, families, and the community at-large.

ABOUT OUR THEME:

Alice in Wonderland is symbolic of the many changes and trials children face. Often, growing up feels like you are traveling down a rabbit hole that is dark and filled with mystery at every corner as you navigate life. For some, the rabbit hole may include issues at home, bullies, inadequate access to health care, and more that leave a child desperately seeking “Wonderland.” Luckily, just like Alice had the white rabbit and the Mad Hatter – Meridian Health is there to help navigate children to a place where “Nothing’s Impossible!” by offering physical, behavioral, and socially well services.
