Generations of Peace: A Night to Remember!
What a night for CISV Washington, DC! On November 7, generations of CISVers, alumni, families, and friends from across generations came together to celebrate 75 years of peace, friendship, and global understanding.
The evening was filled with reunions, laughter, and meaningful moments, including the honor of welcoming Rusty Allen and Erastus Allen, the son and grandson of CISV founder Doris Allen.
We also had the pleasure of recognizing four outstanding volunteers for their dedication, leadership, and contributions to our chapter. Please join us in congratulating:
LJR Leadership Award: Valentina Viegas- Lee
Outstanding Program Leader: Musa Zaid
Volunteer of the Year: Dominique Deleage
Lifetime Volunteer Award: Gislin Dagnelie
Nearly $15,000 Raised!
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised nearly $15,000, setting a new chapter record for fundraising at a single event!
These funds will help us host our 2027 Village, support the Jeremy Cross Scholarship, and make CISV experiences accessible to more families.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the evening possible! We’re excited to build on this momentum and continue strengthening our community for generations to come.
