WHEREAS, the Virginia Girls Choir, a diverse group of Richmond-area girls in grades five through 12, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2018; and

WHEREAS, the founding director of the Virginia Girls Choir was Dan Moriarty; the ensemble is made up of exceptionally talented and hard-working girls from all over the Richmond area who, in spite of differences in race, socioeconomic backgrounds, religious upbringing, and schools, have formed a strong, supportive community; and
