July 19, 2023

Prepare for an unforgettable evening under the big top benefiting The Therapy Place

Come one, come all to Therapalooza: “The Greatest Show in the Southeast,” benefiting The Therapy Place, a local nonprofit center providing children with life-changing and innovative therapies and family support services.

This year’s circus-themed gala will be held 6:30-10:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, inside the Goodman Building at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds, 1200 Rosewood Dr., Columbia.

It will be a memorable night under the big top with circus entertainment, music by Hot Sauce Band, live and silent auctions featuring more than 60 items and experiences, catering by Loosh Culinaire and an open bar with champagne and specialty cocktails.

“We’re so excited about this year’s Therapalooza,” says Dawn Darby, executive director of The Therapy Place. “The funds raised will go directly towards the transformative work we do at our center, serving about 170 children and their families each week with therapies, our preschool, and family support services. We invite everyone to support Therapalooza by purchasing tickets, making a donation, or becoming a sponsor so we can continue helping children reach their full potential.”

There are multiple ways to support the event:

Buy tickets

Tickets are on sale at https://event.gives/2023therapalooza. Early bird tickets are available now. As ticket tiers sell out, prices will increase.
