"As the beneficiary of the Rotary Electric Club's Second Annual Tardi Gras event, the Foundation is overwhelmed by the generosity and support of the Great Falls community. The funds raised will make a tremendous impact on the lives of those seeking diagnosis, therapy, and support for autism across North Central Montana. Thank you to the Rotary Electric Club and all the sponsors and donors for making this possible." – Teresa Schreiner, Executive Director - Alluvion Health Foundation
Tardi Gras is an annual Mardi Gras themed celebration that benefits local non-profit organizations focused on building ‘Safe Play Spaces for All.’ The inaugural Tardi Gras event in 2021 raised over $40,000 for the Alliance for Youth and helped fund the remodeling of the Youth Recreation Room located at 3220 11th Ave S in Great Falls, MT.
The Second Annual Tardi Gras event raised over $50,000 for the Alluvion Health Foundation.These funds will be used to provide infrastructure for the Mobile Autism Clinic, including clinical therapists and services that will travel across North Central Montana to support those seeking diagnosis, early intervention therapies, and support in rural areas. A video about the Alluvion Health Foundation and the Mobile Autism Clinic, along with the demonstrated need for these services, can be viewed here.
