We are blooming with excitement!
Where in 'carnation' did March go? Spring has officially sprung and we are gearing up
for the last quarter of our 2020-21 term. It has been a difficult year,
but we're ready to finish out strong!
It's that time of year! Every April, we begin the process to bring new, driven young professionals onto our board. We will be conducting this year's recruitment with virtual and in-person (if permitted) options throughout April and May.

Our first recruitment event of our 2021 recruitment season will be on Wednesday, April 21. Join us for a virtual mixology demonstration and to learn more about what it means to serve on the Special Olympics Young Professionals Board (Richmond Chapter)!

Wrapping up the Winter Fitness Combine

As we've worked to stay active, safe, and healthy this winter, we have continued supporting local athletes! Though the weather often worked against us, the YPB and athletes enjoyed staying connected completing weekly activities! We will wrap up this winter's combine with the GEICO Super Celebration on Wednesday, April 21 via Facebook Live!

Panera Fundraiser - Thank You!

Our Panera fundraiser was 'soup-er'! Thank you to everyone who came to support Special Olympics Virginia and enjoyed soup on a cold, rainy day in the process!

YPB Bracket Update

The YPB is engaging in a little friendly competition this March with a SOVA YPB Tournament Challenge! The early losses of our local Virginia teams did some damage, but as we enter the Final Four, our top four are:
1. Jenn Walker
2. Ryan Foulds*
2. Samantha Sunderman*
4. Alex Ritchie
