Barbells Not Bans - Fundraising Competition

Richmond Strong is proud to present our third annual Barbells Not Bans!

Richmond Strong is a non-profit foundation bringing together the strength community of Richmond. We host fundraising events for Virginia-based social justice organizations as well as host clinics for all interested in getting into strength sports.

Barbells not Bans is a very queer deadlift fundraiser and competition raising money for two Virginia-based LGBTQIA+ organizations working towards a Virginia for all. 100% of proceeds raised from this campaign goes directly to our beneficiary organizations.

This year's Barbells Not Bans is proud to raise money for Pride Liberation Project, Equality Virginia, He She Ze & We, and Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project.
