A Night of Food, Fellowship & Fundraising
Join us for the first annual Wellness Alliance: Truth in Health Holiday Party!
We’re gathering members, friends, and community partners to celebrate the season, enjoy an Italian dinner, and raise funds for the 2026 Wellness Alliance Growth Fund.
Enjoy a penne pasta dinner with Papa Dio’s signature meat sauce (with a gluten-free option available) and house-made tiramisu for dessert.
A cash bar will be open for those who wish to enjoy a glass of wine or cocktail.
Supporting the Wellness Alliance Growth Fund
Funds raised from this event will go directly to the Wellness Alliance Growth Fund, helping us expand in 2026 through:
- Website and professional directory development
- Printed brochures, business cards, and educational materials
- Expo signage, tablecloths, and event displays
Holiday Fundraiser: Papa Dio’s Take-Home Gift Collection
We’re thrilled to launch the Papa Dio’s Holiday Fundraiser, featuring their beloved take-home products — pasta sauce, Italian dressing, imported olive oil, balsamic vinegar, imported pasta, and salt & pepper blends.
- Perfect for holiday gifting or your own kitchen!
- All proceeds directly support the Wellness Alliance Growth Fund.
- And just like the classic school fundraisers — we’ll have special prizes for those who help sell the most Papa Dio’s items!
It’s a fun and friendly way to support a great cause while spreading a little Italian holiday cheer.
