2024 Raise the Region Gala

Thanks for joining us!

The 2024 Raise the Region Gala was a resounding success, with hundreds of guests joining us both in-person and online, helping to raise more than $730,000 to address the changing needs of the Northern Virginia region.  It was a celebration of the strength of our region to come together and the power of philanthropy to make Northern Virginia stronger.

Congratulations to 2024 Community Leadership Award Honoree, Kristina Bouweiri, President and CEO of Reston Limousine.  See the tribute video below, a testament to Kristina’s dedication to this region.

During the excitement of the evening’s festivities, the Community Foundation announced a milestone marker - over $100 million in funding awarded to nonprofit organizations since our inception in 1978. Whether you are a donor, professional advisor, government leader, entrepreneur, nonprofit organization, we all have a part to play in strengthening our local communities. THANK YOU!
