Pins For Kids 7 is a fundraiser to benefit the Richmond based charity Blue Sky Fund . Donate Here
Blue Sky Fund was born out of a passion to connect children from under-resourced areas to the life-changing experience of summer camp. At first, this was achieved by providing scholarships for campers in growing numbers from 2003-2006.
In 2007, the focus shifted on how to structure the organization and develop sustainable operations to provide lasting impact for the children of Richmond, which led to incorporating Blue Sky as a non-profit organization. Over the next sixteen years, Blue Sky programming has evolved into three core programs offering a continuum of nature-based activities that advance racial equity in the outdoors for over 2,000 students each school year.
The RIchmond Pinball Collective is located at 9550 Midlothian Turnpike Suite 106 Richmond, VA 23235
Thanks to the generosity of the Richmond Pinball Collective attendees will have the chance to play some of the Collective's amazing collection which includes over 35 games spanning more than 5 decades. The collective will be split up between a "freeplay" area were games will be available to play without a coin drop as well as a designated tournament area where players can test their skills against some of Richmond's most skilled players.
