LFG… to convention!!!🔥💙

Last year, HRYD hosted a record-breaking convention. This year, we are excited to support our friends in Hampton Roads as we travel for their incredible region to attend the annual convention!

We need your support to send as many HRYD members to Hampton Roads as possible! We’re hoping to fundraise $1,000 to cover lodging and registration for HRYD members, and we could really use your help!

Convention is a great opportunity to build connections, learn new skills, and ensure our voices are heard in our party! Let’s send HRYD members to Hampton Roads by donating at the link below!💙
