Happy 25th Anniversary to CHAI!

This June, we’re celebrating a massive milestone: 25 years of the Center for Human-Animal Interaction! Founded in 2001 right here at VCU, we were the first center of our kind housed in a medical school. Here’s to a quarter-century of the human-animal bond! 🐾🎉

Great reminder on this rainy Memorial Day Weekend! Stay dry and remember the blue skies are just up ahead. 💙

And any day is a great day to support mental health. https://www.austingermanimemorialfund.com/donations

Thank you so much to our friends who came out to the Richmond Kickers last night to support the Fund! If you weren’t able to make it out and want to support our mission to pay for one child to attend Comfort Zone Camp for a weekend in honor of Austin this week, you may donate from our website. All donations we receive through the end of the week will go to CZC!

We are proud to support Comfort Zone Camp for the work they are doing to help children with their grief. Families pay nothing for their children to attend camp.
