Awards were presented during the cumulating Gala for the YRNF’s biennial Young Republican Leadership Conference (YRLC). The four-day Conference, featuring speakers such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, and Political Commentators such as SE Cupp, concluded on Saturday night with an address by Rep. Thad McCotter of Michigan and the presentation of awards to the organization’s most successful clubs.

DCYRs Chairman Rich Counts said the following about the night’s events: “Tonight the efforts of our board and our members were recognized for their outstanding achievements throughout the past 12 months. Our efforts to show the country that the GOP is the best party for our generation have been well received. Our large-scale deployments to New Jersey for Chris Christie, Virginia for Bob McDonnell, Massachusetts for Scott Brown and Pennsylvania for Tim Burns have been a huge success, and have mirrored the recent triumphs of the Republican Party. ” – DCYRs Chairman Rich Counts

DCYRs Executive Vice-Chair made the following comments: “Tonight’s award marks a great achievement for DC Republicans and is emblematic of the great things happening with the Republican Party here in the District. We are excited about riding this wave of success to Republican victories in the 2010 elections.” – DCYRs Executive Vice Chair Brittny McKinney

Race for the Cure Recap

Spirits and temperatures soared on the National Mall last Saturday June 5th, when the DC Young Republicans laced up our running shoes and hit the streets of the District to participate in the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with 50,000 other participants, including 4000 breast cancer survivors.

The DCYRs team, Republican Red is Just a Darker Shade of Pink, proudly donned our race tees (and a few pink boas!) to raise awareness and more than $1600 ($720 in participant donations and $920 in other contributions) in the fight against breast cancer. Sixteen of your fellow Republican activists braved an early morning schedule, heat, and an overwhelmed Metro system to run or walk the 5K route. But the sacrifice was well worth it: up to 75% of the funds raised will remain in the D.C. area to fund local screening, treatment and education programs for the medically underserved through the National Capital Area Grant Program. And in typical DCYRs fashion, we just had a good time!

Geoff Allen
Katie Barth
Laura Chambers
Rich Counts
Jenna Cristiano
John Giandoni
Eric Heis
Rachel Hoff
Heather Homan
Matthew Leach
Brittny Mckinney
Lindsey Purdy

Top fundraisers were:

Elizabeth Schmitz – $325
Andrew Sturm – $230
Matthew Leach – $105

Thanks so much to everyone who came out and/or contributed to the team!
