Community Foundation for Northern Virginia’s 2024 Raise the Region Gala

The Community Foundation will welcome 700 of the region’s business, philanthropic, public, civic, and community leaders to this signature, black-tie event that serves as a celebration of the power of local philanthropy to help build a community that works for everyone.

A pillar of the Gala celebration each year is the Community Leadership Award, presented annually for outstanding community service and dedication to improving the quality of life for all Northern Virginians. This year’s award will be presented to Kristina Bouweiri, President & CEO of Reston Limousine, the largest luxury transportation provider in the Washington DC area. With over 230 vehicles and 335 employees, her innovative strategies drive growth. Committed to philanthropy, she has facilitated more than $1.5 million in donated transportation to charities. As a board member of influential organizations like Enterprising Woman Magazine, she empowers women entrepreneurs. Her global perspective, born from living in Japan, Brazil, and other countries, enriches her leadership. A graduate of George Washington University, she speaks multiple languages and champions education and children’s welfare initiatives. Kristina's legacy embodies entrepreneurial success, philanthropy, and community leadership.

Tickets are $350. Sponsorships are available $1,000 and include visibility throughout the year and during the event.
