rvaPin #3: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop

The rvaPin series continues to be one of the most meaningful and enlightening projects Rebecca and I have been apart of as The Crystal Press. From benefiting foster children to supporting youth art with local restaurants, the entire project has been really inspiring for everyone around us. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Visit Richmond introduces a pin series supporting Richmond Cycling Corps in collaboration with Rappahannock Restaurant.

 Even if you haven’t been to Rappahannock Restaurant or their new addition, Rapp Session, we are willing to be you have heard about it. There is no shortage of buzz about Travis + Ryan Croxton’s restaurants and for good reason. Rappahannock sits on a beautiful corner of E Grace Street in downtown RVA and serves beautiful and delicious entrees (and cocktails, see the picture below for proof) supported by sustainable farming techniques. From Travis Croxton being named “Restaurant World-Power of the Year” by Zagat to a Richmond Magazine Elby award, it’s safe to say Rappahannock has got it going on. Keep reading to find out how you can make the perfect excuse to try out (or indulge again) this fabulous establishment!

Speaking of reading, have you read the CNN story that was written about Richmond Cycling Corps? It will knock your socks off, to put it lightly. The life changing program that Craig Dodson has established in our city, using cycling as the vehicle to get kids (primarily ages 10-18) out of public housing, is outstanding. RCC is on call 24 hours a day to provide any tool needed to empower our youth toward a better future. The time, work, heart, sweat, and tears the team at RCC puts into getting these kids out of public housing is downright admirable, and we couldn’t be happier to support them with the profits from the third pin.

The rvaPin #3 is a representation of Richmond Cycling Corps’ motto or battle cry, as they fittingly refer to it on their website, “Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.”

Come out to Rappahannock Restaurant on July 7 from 6-10 pm to purchase your pin to support RCC while enjoying a drink a dollar oyster specials. What could be better than drinking Rosè in the name of one of the most badass nonprofits in Richmond?
