About this fundraiser:

WEAR RVA is a Richmond-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young women, fostering body positivity, and strengthening our community.Through our signature annual event “Rocking The Runway For A Cause” —a spectacular, full-production fashion show—we celebrate confidence, individuality, and self-expression by featuring local high school girls as our models, while we raise money for an amazing cause.

This year, WEAR RVA is embarking on an exciting new chapter, expanding its philanthropic mission in partnership with Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHoR) at VCU. The 2025 “Rocking The Runway For Mental Health” will be held on May 8th at Dover Hall. Proceeds from this year’s event will support CHoR’s mental and behavioral health services, which are provided at the Virginia Treatment Center for Children (VTCC).

One in 5 children will experience a mental illness and 1 in 3 teen girls has seriously contemplated suicide. That number is up 60% from a decade ago. We have recently learned that one of our former models made an attempt on her life last year, and another was hospitalized for self harm. We are committed to making a difference for our girls and all children.

Please consider helping us to make a difference in the lives of children and teens who need it most. Every little bit helps!
