In 1981, the Biscayne Bay Young Republicans was founded to help educate, inform, and socialize Republicans between 18 and 40 years of age into a movement in the Greater Miami Area.

President Reagan was leading the way in Washington; we were trying to advance the cause here.

Decades later, his legacy remains.

To honor our 40^th President, the Biscayne Bay Young Republicans Board of Directors Unanimously decided to create the Ronald Reagan Memorial: BBYR Hall of Fame, to induct a few, historic, pioneering members of our history that lead the fight in Miami.
