Scottish Rite has two fundraisers to support local pediatric therapy services at Hannibal Regional

HANNIBAL, Mo. — The OC Wilson Scottish Rite was the host of its annual Casino Royale event on April 19, at The Rialto in downtown Hannibal. The evening featured casino games, prize drawings and food, with the proceeds benefiting pediatric speech therapy patients at Hannibal Regional.

The Scottish Rite also was the host of the Feztival of Trees in December in the historic downtown Hannibal district. Visitors had the opportunity to win fully decorated and themed Christmas trees. Proceeds from the two events resulted in a donation of $17,000, which members of the Rite presented to Hannibal Regional Foundation at the casino night event on Friday.

The continued support from OC Wilson Scottish Rite benefits local children in the form of therapy scholarships, allowing them to access much-needed speech therapy services which are often not covered through insurance plans.
