National Review's founder William F. Buckley Jr. devoted his life to defending the principles of a free society. In tribute to that enduring legacy, the National Review Institute Board of Trustees established the William F. Buckley Jr. Prizes for Leadership in Political Thought and Leadership in Supporting Liberty. We invite you to join us for this premier and exclusive evening honoring the American conservative tradition, the vital role of courageous and impactful journalism, and the continued mission of National Review.
