2026 VAYD Convention & Awards Gala Sponsorships

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 400 Young Democrats (aged 13-35 years old) from across Virginia convene to elect statewide VAYD leadership, train with industry professionals to bring back real-life skills that can positively impact their communities, and develop their leadership abilities. VAYD conventions foster relationship-building that strengthens our year-round efforts to elect Democrats up and down the ballot and leads to new Young Dem chapters around the Commonwealth.

This year, in partnership with the Hampton Roads Young Democrats, William & Mary Young Democrats, ODU Democrats, and Norfolk State Young Democrats, we will host our Annual Convention in Norfolk, VA, March 27-29, 2026.

We hope that you will join us in supporting these young leaders and generations of leaders to come at this year's VAYD convention. Please contact Connor Eppley at finance_director@vayd.org with any questions about our sponsorship opportunities.
