Richmond's Annual Awesome Adult Spelling Bee

RICHMOND, VA – Competition is buzzing, and Podium invites you to attend Richmond’s 9th Annual Awesome Adult Spelling Bee on Thursday, April 28th from 5:30 – 8:30 PM at the U-Turn Atrium, 2102 Maywill St. Richmond, VA 23230. Following the resounding success of last year’s virtual competition, this will be the first time in three years the RVA Bee is in person, and we can’t wait! 

 

Podium RVA, a local nonprofit based in Richmond, VA, empowers youth to become confident and capable writers, communicators, and leaders with the skills necessary to succeed in school, career, and in life. The RVA Bee is a happy hour networking event. Funds raised provide much-needed revenue for Podium’s after-school and summer programs for middle and high schoolers living in under-resourced communities. In 2021, Podium reached over 350 children and teens thanks to the success of last year’s Bee. 


The event starts at 5:30pm, and the competition starts at 6pm. You don’t want to miss teams from across the region compete for the Best Speller in Richmond! Shout outs to previous championship winners, including the Richmond Times Dispatch, Sauers Brands, Swedish Match, Sands Anderson, Scribe on Demand, Richmond Magazine, and more! 


Who will take 2022’s top spot?
