Its location offers a beautiful view of the James River and Richmond City skyline, which will be decorated for the holiday season. Â
December Charity – As is our holiday tradition, attendees are encouraged to bring a donation for the USO center at the Richmond Int’l Airport. The USO provides hospitality to thousands of troops and their families during the holiday season. Needs include individual size snacks and beverages, travel size toiletries, and cash/gift cards.
Prize raffle tickets will also be sold at this event with all proceeds going to the USO. Raffle prize donations are welcome!
We are very pleased to report another successful October social and charity fundraiser!
The weather unfortunately did not cooperate and forced us to move inside. But the room was very spacious and comfortable, and provided a cozy atmosphere for the event. The Richmond Country Club did an excellent job with the food and service. Our musician, Bethany Gates, is very talented and gracious. All in all, it was a wonderful evening and a very successful fundraiser for Comfort Zone Camp (CZC). Check out the album on our photos page.
We would like to thank everyone who came out for the evening and especially the event sponsors. Thanks also to the event coordinator, Rick Bulifant, who did an awesome job with the arrangements.
We are already looking forward to next year!
