Welcome to the official website of the Richmond Metropolitan Chapter of The Charmettes, Incorporated!   Our chapter was organized in 1991 as the fifteenth chapter of The Charmettes, Incorporated; and is comprised of members from the city of Richmond and the surrounding counties.  This year, we are celebrating our 33rd year as a sisterhood of dedicated women committed to improving the quality of life within our communities through advocacy, education, service, and support for cancer research.

 

I am Janice Pankey, and it is a distinct honor and privilege for me to serve as the 10th president of the Richmond Metropolitan Chapter. I was introduced to The Charmettes, Incorporated by one of the founding members, Charmette Frankie Drayton Thomas, and Charmette Betty McDonald.  In 2000, I became a member of the organization and was inducted into the Broward County Fort Lauderdale Chapter.  In 2009, I transferred my membership to the Richmond Metropolitan Chapter after moving into the area.  I began serving as the Chapter President in 2022. 

​

Thank you for visiting our site.  I encourage you to follow us, support us and join us in our endeavors as we support those seeking a cure for cancer.  We believe and pray that a cure will be found in our lifetime.
