Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA)

The Youth Sports and Fine Arts Academy of the Richmond Redevelopment and Housing Authority (RRHA) is proud to announce that the Black Dolphin Dive Club of Richmond has agreed to partner with RRHA.

Mr. Clifton Hicks, President of the Black Dolphin Dive Club of Richmond, Virginia announced that the officers and members of BDD are very pleased to partner with RRHA and to sponsor RRHA youth. Our sponsorship includes financial support; exposure to the variety of educational, recreational and employment opportunities Scuba offers; and long term mentoring. Our national and local club philosophy places special emphasis on empowering and building the quality of life of the youth in our communities. Our goal is to provide positive leadership to our youth. Our expectation is that in turn our youth will mentor and provide positive leadership in the community.”

Joan Seldon, Director of the RRHA Youth Sports and Fine Arts Academy adds, “In order for the Youth Sports and Fine Arts Academy to continue to make a difference in the lives of our youth, we need the financial assistance of individuals, as well as local and national organizations. Using “non-traditional sports” as a means to academic success can be costly. It is only through the help of our sponsors that we are able to see that our children are afforded the opportunity to receive the exposure they need to open the door of possibilities that await them.”
