The unifying event was part of the Date With Dad Weekend 2015, held March 20 through 22 at various Richmond locations. Other father-daughter events were held at the Downtown YMCA on Friday, a 5K race and block party at Armstrong High School on Saturday, and a father-daughter dance
for inmates at the Richmond Justice Center on Saturday. The weekend of activities is to strengthen the bonds between fathers and their daughters, according to the two organizing groups, Richmond-based CAMP DIVA, which is a part of the national organization Girls for a Change. Several celebrities appeared in Richmond for the events, including actor Chad L. Coleman of the hit AMC television show “The Walking Dead.” On March 17, Mayor Dwight C. Jones officially commended the girls for belonging to CAMP DIVA.
