stbusters About Ghostbusters Virginia
Who we are, where we came from, and why we do what we do.
A Community-Built Nonprofit
Ghostbusters, Virginia (GBVA) was established in 2001 by a lifelong Ghosthead and rather young member of the Ghostbusters community. Since then GBVA has (like many things) ebbed and flowed with popularity and activity, culminating in 2011 with a spike in popularity that has established GBVA as the premier Ghostbusters franchise in the grand Commonwealth of Virginia.
Statewide Chapters, One Mission
GBVA is unique, in that unlike other states where multiple groups manifest themselves in different pockets of fandom, we act as a large umbrella for all Ghostbusters fans in Virginia. Individual groups can maintain their group identity while proudly flying the GBVA banner and participating in GBVA events like conventions, fundraisers, build parties, and more. The three primary GBVA groups are The Richmond Division, serving the greater Richmond metro area, District 757 protecting Southeastern Virginia from all manner of spooks, specters, and ghosts, and the NOVA Division keeping the northern border of Virginia safe and sound.
Many Ways to Show Up
These groups are unique in their own way, but under the GBVA banner they are able to pool their resources and together be a stronger franchise and participate with unparalleled cooperation at GBVA events. We are stronger together than we are separate. These three groups, along with members from all over Virginia (including the Eastern Shore), are what make GBVA such a fantastic franchise and lend us a strong future filled with good fun, memories, and lifelong friendships.
Making Local Impact Together
Under the GBVA banner these groups pool their resources and cooperate at a level that makes the whole stronger than its parts. Alongside members from across Virginia — including the Eastern Shore — they are what make GBVA such a fantastic franchise, with a future filled with good fun, memories, and lifelong friendships.
