Beyond Boundaries RVA

Calling all outdoor lovers, supporters of accessibility, and RVA businesses. Sign up now to sponsor R.I.M.B.Y.! 📢 The RVA RIMBY Festival (Right In My BackYard) is exactly that, a free outdoor festival highlighting all of the incredible and unique outdoor activities right in the backyard of Richmond. Proceeds from this festival provide outdoor adventure and environmental education opportunities to individuals with disabilities, underserved youth, vets, and recovery programs.

We had an awesome fundraiser last week at Hidden Wit Brewing! Big thanks to KilGO Insurance for supporting us, Northern Neck Insurance Company for sponsoring the night, and Hampton Park Mens Club for showing up in a BIG way to volunteer and support the mission! ☘️

We had the pleasure of working with the IFMA RVA Internal Facility Management Association's Board of Directors this past week with our Disability Inclusion Training. This group of community and industry leaders had some great conversations and ideas about how to better include people with disabilities in their personal and professional lives.

It's almost time for us to get growing, but we mustache you a question– will you help us with this years M4K event?! 👨🦰⁠ ⁠ M4K RICHMOND INC is an awesome event and a huge fundraising opportunity for Beyond Boundaries! Last we raised $50k and we're hoping to top that number this year!⁠ ⁠ Each year, during the four-week Growing Season spanning November and December, Growers sprout sweet, sweet Mustaches. ⁠ ⁠ At the end of the Growing Season, the Growers hold a Mustache Competition called the 'Stache Bash, which is a cross between a beauty pageant, dog show, and police line up. During the competition, Growers, often in Mustache-enhancing costumes, are put through a test of mind, body, and Mustache and allow their facial hair to be evaluated by an independent panel of judges, and one Mustache is declared to be the "Sweetest.."⁠ ⁠
