Our trivia night would not have been nearly as successful (we raised $9190 for menstruators in need!!) without the generous contributions of RVA’s local business community. Thanks to all of the many businesses who donated.

Silent Auction is LIVE… and the Prizes are Good.
We’re thrilled to announce that Sylvia’s Sisters’ first-ever online silent auction is officially open for bidding! Whether you’re looking for a beach getaway, a stunning photo session, or the perfect evening in, we’ve got something for you. Every bid goes directly toward ending period poverty in Richmond.
A sample of what’s up for grabs:
- OBX beach house: The Chillax Inn in Corolla, NC sleeps 8 and comes with a private pool and hot tub. Two blocks from the ocean. Need we say more?
- Photo session with Mx. Bex Photography: A 2-hour weekday session with a talented photographer at The Estate at River Run, a breathtaking Georgian Revival mansion overlooking the James River.
- Richmond date night package: Start with three premium blowouts at Drybar Westhampton, then catch a show with two tickets to Firehouse Theatre, finish the night with a $50 Shyndigz gift card, and take home a piece of Richmond with art postcards by local artist David French.
- Language learning + A taste of Paris: This worldly-inspired package includes four 30-minute language or tutoring sessions with local company Enjoyable Languages (in any language or subject!) plus a curated collection of Parisian goodies. Magnifique.
Bidding closes at 8pm on April 30 (that’s right in the middle of our Trivia Night fundraiser at Hardywood Richmond!). You don’t have to be there to win, but we’d love to see you there.
Ready your Teams! Our Trivia Fundraiser is Back.

The Gift that Gives Back
Struggling to find the perfect gift this holiday season?
We have the perfect gift for:
- The friend who has everything
- The minimalist
- The one who believes in kindness over consumerism
Donate to Sylvia’s Sisters in honor of someone you love.
We’ll provide a beautiful, printable card so you can let them know their gift helps others thrive.
KEEP HER LEARNING
Right now, a girl is sitting in class worried about her next period. She’s wondering if she’ll have to stay home, use makeshift supplies, or risk the embarrassment of bleeding through her clothes. She’s already thinking about missing school. She wants to learn, but doesn’t have a box of pads.
That’s the heart of our Keep Her Learning campaign: making sure every student can focus on learning, not on what she doesn’t have.
Every $25 provides a month of period products for five students in need. Will you help us reach more girls in 2026?
Merch Store LIVE
We are so excited to announce our first ever storefront through Bonfire! We have t-shirts, sweatshirts and pouches that fight the stigma AND period poverty.
Every purchase supports free period products for women and girls.
Sale ends Nov. 26 and items will ship in time for the holidays.
What even is period poverty? Listen to Sylvia’s Sisters on 98.1
Over the summer, we had the honor of chatting with Rebecca Wilde on our local radio station. She asked the hard questions: why does period poverty exist? What does Virginia do to help those most in need? And what can YOU do to fix this problem?
Have a listen!
