Friendship Circle of Virginia is excited to host our 5th Annual Disability Inclusion Day at CarMax Park on Sunday, May 10, 2026 at 2:05pm. This event is in partnership with the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
Disability Inclusion Day at the Diamond highlights the importance of an inclusive community by bringing people with and without disabilities together to experience a baseball game in a supportive, inclusive environment. Friendship Circle of Virginia has added accessibility supports so that people with disabilities and mental health conditions and their loved ones can participate in America's favorite pastime in an iconic RVA way. Open to the entire RVA community!
