May is a perfect time of year to rally for older adults!
Join us as we celebrate Rianda House’s Anniversary, Older Americans Month, and our age-friendly community who takes pride in supporting older neighbors, friends, and family members.
There are many ways to Rally throughout the month of May!
Rally & Donate
Double your contribution.
Double your impact!
The Rally4Rianda Fund Drive, the primary fundraiser for Rianda House, runs throughout the month of May to renew community support for no-cost enrichment and wellness programs.
Each year, Rianda House relies on the generosity from our community and grantors to refuel needed funding to support our weekly no-cost enrichment and wellness classes. By offering free attendance, we empower more UpValley older adults, many on a fixed budget, to participate regularly, both virtually and once again in person, in Calistoga and St. Helena.
Take the Rally4Rianda Challenge and rev up your contribution!
The first $70,000 in Rally gifts will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, thanks to our very generous Match Challenge Team.
Take the Challenge!
Make your 100% tax deductible gift by May 31. Help us reach our $150,000 fundraising goal to support no-cost enrichment programs this year.
Three ways to make your contribution:
Deliver: Attend the Rally4Rianda Classic or Rally4Rianda Open House and personally deliver your support! (View event details below).
