After raising over $2,000 and enjoying a fantastic five course meal, we all agreed this would be an annual event. The following year, the year of the Fire Monkey, we raised $4,000 for People For Acupuncture, a non-profit working to get acupuncture covered by health insurance for all Vermonters. Check back in January to purchase tickets for our 2024 fundraiser.
Lunar New Year Celebration
The staff and practitioners of IAOM hosted our first annual Lunar New Year celebration to benefit acupuncture services at National Life Cancer Treatment Center in Berlin, VT in 2016. Almost 50 people attended, helping to raise $2K to donate to the cancer center, and enjoying an authentic, five-course Chinese meal, along with information, entertainment, and good company. In our second year, in 2016 we raised $4k for People For Acupuncture, a non-profit striving to achieve health insurance inclusion for acupuncture. Our Lunar New Year celebration also occurs online. Each year we work with consulting astrologists to produce our own Annual Forecast for the year. We also work to forecast each animal’s fortune for each year. Sign up for our newsletter to receive next year’s forecast!

National Acupuncture Day
Integrative Acupuncture has hosted an annual celebration on National Acupuncture Day since 2012. On 10/23/14, we had over 80 attendees having group acupuncture, learning Tai Chi, receiving massage, eating snacks, and drinking tea. The next year on 10/22/15 we hosted another great event at our office and on the first floor at Integrative Family Medicine, Montpelier, of the University of Vermont Health Network, Central Vermont Medical Center. We had over 100 people attend and included live music and food this year. We’ve continued the tradition, and in 2022 we turned our event into an annual Congee Cookoff! Six members of our team cooked their own congee recipes for participants to try and vote on. Look out for our 2023 Congee Cookoff!
