Cornerstone Treatment Center Brings Fulton Community Together for Community Luau

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Aug. 17, 2026 - PRLog -- The event was part of Cornerstone Treatment Center's continued commitment to giving back to Fulton and creating opportunities to connect with the community outside of its day-to-day services.

Community members came out to enjoy Hawaiian-inspired food, Kona Ice, face painting, a petting zoo, and balloon twisting for the kids. One of the highlights of the celebration was a special performance by MO Hawaiian Dancers, who brought the spirit of the islands to Fulton and helped make the evening memorable for everyone in attendance.

"We were thrilled to see so many members of the Fulton community come out and enjoy the evening with us," said Margie Barilla, CEO of Cornerstone Treatment Center. "Cornerstone is proud to call Fulton home, and events like our Community Luau give us an opportunity to give back, connect with our neighbors, and simply enjoy time together as a community."

For Cornerstone Treatment Center, community involvement is an important part of building strong and lasting relationships. The Community Luau was designed to provide a welcoming, family-friendly environment where everyone could come together, have fun, and learn more about the people behind Cornerstone.

The strong community turnout made the event especially meaningful for the Cornerstone team.

"We want our neighbors to know that Cornerstone is invested in Fulton," said Margie Barilla. "We are grateful to everyone who joined us, as well as the performers, vendors, staff, and community partners who helped make the event possible. Seeing families smiling, kids having fun, and our community coming together made the day a success."

Cornerstone Treatment Center looks forward to continuing to find meaningful ways to support, celebrate, and give back to the Fulton community.
