The YCC awards are given in honor of the late William F. Buckley Jr., an icon in the conservative movement who founded National Review and wrote God & Man at Yale before turning 30. President Ronald Reagan was an avid reader of the National Review and commended Buckley for challenging the Left: “You didn’t just part the Red Sea — you rolled it back, dried it up and left exposed, for all the world to see, the naked desert that is statism.” America’s Future Foundation, The Young Republican National Federation, the College Republican National Committee and Allegiance Direct will cosponsor the ceremony.

We are proud to honor these individuals for their contributions to the conservative movement and the example they set for others.”
