RVA Heroes is a celebration of real life superheroes that serve our community! Join us for a night of fun, food and geek chic fashion!
About this Event

RVA Heroes is a gala event like no other! Yes, we get fancy...but we don't let that stop us from having fun!
In the coming months we will be announcing our celebrity guests. These are actors who have appeared in some of the biggest tv series in history, coming together to help us honor local real life superheroes! This year we are planning to bring a keynote speaker to talk about overcoming adversity, and we'll even have a musical halftime performance! In previous years we have been joined by castmembers of Supernatural, Avengers: Infinity War, Star Trek Discovery, Frozen, Stargirl, Aliens and more!
This year we are will be celebrating Heroes from the medical field, the armed forces and first responders. Celebrating their contributions to our community is a highlight of what we do every year.
While you might not expect it from a geeky event, we bring THE best fashion show in the region to our stage! You never know what will happen during our event (last year our fashion show was interrupted by a zombie invasion). Previously, our models have showcased looks inspired by Barbie, Disney, Alice In Wonderland and more...and this year the event will be headlined by a line inspired by Jurassic Park! We will also include an avant garde line inspired by the children's cartoon Miraculous Ladybug and Cat Noir!
We are providing free heavy hors d'Ouevres, which is included with your ticket, so come hungry!

We are also assembling some great auction items that will go to benefit the non-profit.

OH YEAH! RVA Heroes is a fundraiser benefit for Geek Wellness Education, a 501c3 non-profit that uses the things we love (superheroes, sci-fi, princesses etc) as a way to open up conversations about mental health!
Join us for the geekiest gala in Richmond!
TICKETS:

There are two tiers of tickets
1. General Admission: This includes the show and hors d'Ouevres.

  1. VIP Admission: These tickets also include a table to sit at,a VIP bar and buffet table, as well as early entry to a pre-show mixer. Our celebrity guests will be at the mixer and you are welcome to chat, take pictures with them etc. Our musical guest will be performing an exclusive song at the mixer as well. We are working on hopefully having VIP swag bags as well, so hopefully we'll have an update on that soon.
