2024 VAYD Convention Sponsorships

Dear VAYD Supporters,

Thank you for considering a sponsorship of the Virginia Young Democrats Annual Convention and Awards Gala. Your financial support is important to our success and will help us ensure that every young person seeking to participate is able.

Each spring, over 300 young democrats (aged 13-35 years old) from across Virginia convene to elect statewide officers, develop their leadership, and train with industry professionals to bring back real-life skills that can impact their communities' positive growth. This year, in partnership with Roanoke Young Democrats, we will host our Annual Convention in Roanoke, VA, April 12-14, 2024.

I hope that you will join me in supporting these young leaders, and generations of leaders to come. Please contact me with interest at president@vayd.org or 703-609-9963
