Rosie’s Remedies RVA & SB’s Lakeside Loveshack Team Up for MS Awareness!
We’re thrilled to announce a fantastic partnership between Rosie’s Remedies RVA and SB’s Lakeside Loveshack to raise awareness and support for those living with Multiple Sclerosis! From March 22nd to March 28th, SB’s Lakeside Loveshack (located at 6935 Lakeside Avenue, Richmond, VA) will be serving up a delicious array of MS-themed menu items.
For every special MS-themed dish ordered, SB’s Lakeside Loveshack will generously donate $2 to the MS Alliance of Virginia (MSAV). This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal while contributing to a vital cause!
But that’s not all! To further our mission of spreading awareness and education, Rosie’s Remedies RVA is hosting a Charity Market on Sunday, March 23rd, also benefitting the MSAV. Join us for a fun-filled Sunday brimming with delectable food, exciting activities, and the chance to give back to our community.
SB’s Lakeside Loveshack will continue their support with food and drink specials throughout the day, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to the MSAV. Our amazing market vendors will also be contributing, either through direct donations or by giving a portion of their sales.
And don’t miss Drag Bingo on Tuesday, March 27th, from 6 pm to 9 pm at SB’s Lakeside Loveshack! Hosted by the talented Michelle Livigne, this evening promises fun and entertainment. All bingo card sales will be donated to the MSAV, and there will be a special MS-themed drink available for purchase.
We are incredibly grateful to SB’s Lakeside Loveshack and Rosie’s Remedies RVA for their generous partnership and to everyone who participates in these events. Your support makes a real difference in the lives of those affected by Multiple Sclerosis. Let’s come together to raise awareness, spread hope, and make a positive impact!
Thank you for your support!
