Next week we’ll be announcing the 2019 Recipients of the Buckley Awards. This year is the ten year anniversary of this prize, which honors young leaders under 40 for their work to advance liberty, increase prosperity, and honor the legacy of William F. Buckley. Before finding out this year’s winners, take a little stroll down memory lane by learning about our 2018 and 2017 winners (When AF took over this esteemed prize.)

The best way to embrace and live liberty this month is to join us at the AF Gala & Buckley Awards at Nationals Park on May 23. Not only will you get to explore the field, the dugout, and the batting cages, but you’ll have the chance to win a whole slew of professional development opportunities, and to celebrate the 2019 Buckley Award winners with hundreds of young people advancing freedom. In the words of the great Ina Garten, “what’s not to love?” Just for reading this post, I’ll give you a discount code. Enter “Network” on Eventbrite for 15% off your ticket.

I love the AF Gala! Way back, from about 2008-2011 I hosted them at the Art’s Club of Washington, and the event has only gotten better since then. Take a look at photos from last year’s event and tell me this isn’t the best way to spend an evening?
