Honored to have our Executive Director, Andrea Starr as the featured speaker at Junior League of Richmond's End of the Year Celebration. The theme "Brilliance in Bloom" says it all. The Junior League of Richmond has played an integral role in helping Forward Foundation VA families recognize their talents, trust their voices, and believe in what they're capable of. Their dedication doesn't just change lives today. It shapes generations.

Sunshine, baseball, and big smiles at CarMax Park ☀️⚾

For our families, a day at the ballpark is more than just baseball. It's a chance to exhale, to be present, to make memories without worrying about the cost. Our Forward Foundation parents and kids spent Sunday afternoon cheering on the Flying Squirrels, sharing plates of BBQ, and simply enjoying time together.

Huge thanks to Gilbane for hosting another unforgettable Family Day at the ballpark.

“In memory of many - in honor of all who gave their lives to ensure our right to freedom.”

Celebrating one of Forward Foundation VA's finest! 🏆

At the 2026 Gala, we proudly honored Jay Smack with the Tamera Forner Pegg Above and Beyond Award, a recognition reserved for those who show up for our mission with their whole heart. ❤️

And in the spirit of always moving forward for great causes, Jay's clipping in for Bike MS as captain of the brand new Go Forward Cycling Team on May 30th. Want to cheer him on or chip in to his ride?

Speaking of riding… SAVE THE DATE, Richmond!

Our annual Go Forward Together Ride rolls back into town on October 3rd, and this year we're rolling out something brand new (hint: it's 10 miles of fun for families and first timers 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️).

Jay, thank you for embodying "hand up, not handout" in everything you do.
We are so very lucky to have you in our corner. 🙌

She reached out during one of the hardest chapters of her life and heard back within 24 hours.

What she found wasn't charity. It was community. Financial guidance, career resources, and people who understood exactly what she was carrying. A hand up -from people who've been there.

What an unforgettable evening and NIGHT TO REMEMBER! ✨ We laughed, we played, and we danced the night away — but most importantly, we were deeply moved by the incredible support of our sponsors, volunteers, staff, gala planning committee, donors, and everyone who joined us for our 7th Annual Celebratory Gala.

Because of you, we gathered in powerful support of single parents across Central Virginia. Your generosity will make a lasting and meaningful impact on the single moms and dads in our program and throughout our community.

We are truly grateful and we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. 🙌 See you next year!
