Dear friends,

Given the challenges and uncertainties presented by the COVID-19 virus, this year’s Richmond Bluegrass Jam has been cancelled. We are so sorry to miss the opportunity to spend the day with all of you in support of the Fisher House, but we believe we must do our part to help lessen the effects of this global health threat.

We send a sincere thank you to all of the bands and volunteers who had offered to donate their time this year, and to so many of you who were planning to attend.

Many thanks to our generous and dedicated sponsors who have decided to continue with their donation to the Richmond Fisher House despite the cancellation of the event:

• Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield
• James River Nurseries
• Costen Floors
• Old Dominion Electric Coop
• Anthem Foundation
• Luck Stone
• ECS - Mid Atlantic
• James River Air
• Commonwealth Landcare
• CTGHNG LLC
• Colonel Robert Arnold
• Colonel Yerry Kenneally

We will immediately turn our attention to planning next year’s Jam (which we’ll just make twice as good!), and we’re even exploring the possibility of an interim event later in the year to bring our RVA bluegrass community together in the meantime.

And just because our event is cancelled doesn’t mean the Fisher House’s work is done. If you are so inclined, please consider a gift directly to this important organization, and help them take care of those who take care of us.

We’ll be in touch again soon. Until then, stay safe and look after one another.

Sincerely,

Your friends at the Richmond Bluegrass Jam
