A Message from Our Executive Director

Better2gether RVA Golf Classic

presented by Call Federal Credit Union

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first annual Better2gether Golf Classic presented by Call Federal was held on May 13th at The Golf Club at The Highlands. A beautiful day provided the perfect atmosphere for a great day of golf, on course games, prizes and all around a great time.

Thank you to our volunteers who worked tirelessly to make everything go smoothly! We couldn’t have put on a successful tournament without the support of our sponsors. We thank you for participating in the event and which raised $23,000 which Better2gether will use to deliver specialized support services that equip families of medically complex children with the tools to care for their child. We appreciate you and hope to see you back next year!

Together Apart Art Gallery

The Together Apart art gallery was on display from April 24th through May 29th. Mary Grace Walsh, in partnership with Better2gether RVA and Children’s Hospital of Richmond, displayed over 5 dozen pieces of art in the Sky Lobby of the Children’s Pavilion.

B2G so appreciates Kristen Grayson and Katherine Bacon for volunteering their time in teaching the art workshops as well as Dr. Robin Foster and Jan Kirby, RN of CHoR for offering their time and guidance in coordinating the gallery.  Most of all, we are beyond grateful to Mary Grace along with her family and other supporters for making this ALL happen for our B2G families.

Mary Grace began planning her Capstone Project – Together Apart over a year ago and spent countless hours and lots of hard work fundraising, recruiting volunteers, delivering art supplies, coordinating workshops and much more. Thanks to her, our B2G families have enjoyed five wonderful art workshops.
