CJ’s Butterfly Tea 2025

Welcome to CJ’s Butterfly Tea - Steampunk Style! Join us for an enchanting afternoon at Hanover Tavern. Sip on delicious teas, savor scrumptious treats, and immerse yourself in the beauty of butterflies. This in-person event is perfect for nature lovers, tea enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a delightful experience to support a great cause - CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation. There are three courses – savory, scone, and sweet, and your first cocktail is included in your ticket purchase.

We are also to announce that Gail Carriger will be this year's event host and special guest. Gail Carriger has multiple NYT bestsellers and millions of books in print in dozens of different languages. She writes book hugs - comedies of manners mixed with steampunk, urban fantasy, or sci-fi (and cozy queer joy as GL Carriger). She is best known for the Parasol Protectorate and Finishing School series. She was once an archaeologist and is fond of shoes, octopuses, and tea. www.gailcarriger.com

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of friends in a charming setting. Reserve your spot now!

Traditional tea attire is wonderful but guests are completely welcome to dress in costume.

In addition to Hanover Tavern’s excellent offerings of comestibles, there will be a raffle, prize for best outfit, among other things.

See you there!

About the CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation:
Our Mission: To provide assistance to families of children with chronic and life threatening illnesses.

Our Vision:
​Since our founding in 2010, we have seen CJ’s Thumbs Up Foundation grow in amazing ways. When we set out to start this organization, our mission was clear. We wanted to honor Charlotte Jennie’s memory by serving families in their time of need. We do this through meals and financial assistance. We are serving many needs of the Richmond, VA community and have exceeded our goals every year of our existence.
