Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project Fundraiser Kick-Off Party
Wednesday, February 8th 2017, from 7-10pm, at Gallery5 (200 West Marshall Street, Richmond VA), the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project, Virginia's all-volunteer private abortion fund which helps people in need pay for abortion care and related expenses, is holding a kick-off party for their annual fundraising season. The fundraiser, the National Abortion Access Bowl-a-thon (BAT), lasts from February until the end of April.

At the end of the BAT, there's a party at a bowling alley, and teams are awarded prizes in a number of categories. The kick-off party is a great opportunity to learn tips about grassroots abortion funding, meet other new volunteers, and join or start a fundraising team.

The venue is wheelchair accessible via a front access ramp, with first-floor gender-inclusive single-stall bathrooms.
