RVA4CERF+ fundraiser

💙✨🫶🙌 And that’s a wrap! Together, we raised $15,281 (!!!!) for @cerfplus. It will all go to help artists impacted by Hurricane Helene, both now and in the future.

Friday night’s reception was incredible, with a large crowd admiring the artwork, placing bids, and even donating just to support CERF+’s inspiring mission. The bidding wars kept things exciting, and the community’s generosity was truly heartwarming.

Huge thanks to the local artists (61 total!), sponsors, bidders, donors, volunteers, and promoters who helped turn RVA4CERF+ from a small idea into a big success.

A special shoutout to @visartsrva for hosting our exhibition and for providing invaluable guidance and support over the past 3 months. Big thanks as well to
@koalamama2008, CERF+ Executive Director, for coming to speak about CERF+’s vital work helping artists across the nation.

Visit cerfplus.org to learn more about their life-changing programs, and please keep them in mind when looking to support an organization that TRULY makes a difference.

Thanks to everyone who helped us as organizers (@christineorrstudios, @jaydan.moore and @debrariceceramics) kick off 2025 with such a positive and impactful community effort! We couldn’t be more grateful for all of you. 💙💙💙
