RVA IRC at Brown’s Island & Friday Cheers — All Summer!
RVA Inclusive Recovery City is excited to announce we’ll be tabling at Brown’s Island and Friday Cheers event this summer! Our goal is to spread the word about recovery, reduce stigma, and offer support for anyone attending substance-free — whether you're in recovery, sober-curious, or just want to learn more.
Why the yellow balloons? They're a symbol of support, inspired by the “Wharf Rats” — a group of music lovers in recovery who create safe spaces at concerts. We’re carrying that tradition forward in Richmond, offering a friendly point of connection in the crowd.
Stop by our table for resources, conversation, and free hugs. Recovery belongs everywhere — even in the middle of your favorite summer show.
