For the second year, GayVN Stars is the presenting sponsor. “We are delighted to be the presenting sponsor of this historic edition of the Grabby Awards and equally excited to stream both of these incredible events on the GayVN Stars platform,” said Tony Rios, CEO of AVN Media Network. “The Grabbys have become part of the fabric of our industry and it is our great honor to help them continue this tradition of excellence.”
