High-five! That’s what a crowd at Thursday’s Flying Squirrels game will do. The current world record holders for the most simultaneous high fives is currently held by 3,504 Zappos.com employees. A local organization, Positive Vibe Café, will try to usurp the title with an event called Hi5RVA.
Positive Vibe Café provides food service training for people with disabilities. They have partnered with the Flying Squirrels to organize the Hi5RVA fundraiser in the hopes of raising $50,000.
“Our training program is free, and we rely on the generosity of the Richmond community to keep it going strong,” said Garth Larcen, co-founder of the organization. “Hi5RVA is our city-wide attempt to raise awareness and funds for the Vibe and give something back to Richmonders who have supported our Café and the program for the last ten years.”
“With an average home attendance of over 6,600 and lots of publicity, we’re going to pack the house, break a record, and have a ton of fun,” said Dave Saunders, Positive Vibe Café board member and President of Madison+Main. “Sorry, Zappos. Your record is going down.”
Supporters will gather at 6:35pm on Thursday, May 10th at the Diamond before the Squirrels take on the Bowie Baysox.
