Why We Still Feature Our 2020 Video
This video is more than a memory — it's a symbol of perseverance. In 2020, during one of the most challenging moments in our history, our youth made their voices heard: they needed connection, community, and the game they loved. Despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, we came together safely, prioritizing both mental health and unity. This video stands as a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and spirit of YALD — and why our mission matters more than ever.
