CRE Networking Group Supporting Best Buddies VA & DC
Step into the elegant French Riviera-inspired setting of Barbouzard, perfect for golden hour drinks, dinner, or a sophisticated networking experience in the heart of DC.
Join us for an evening with Best Buddies VA & DC! Meet staff, members, and ambassadors and learn about the global volunteer movement creating life-changing opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) through:
- One-to-one friendships
- Integrated employment
- Leadership development
- Inclusive living
- Family support
We’ll also highlight the Best Buddies Friendship Walk on April 25, 2026, on the National Mall—the nation’s largest Friendship Walk! Each year, over 2,000 students, families, corporate partners, and community members come together to celebrate inclusion and friendship. Funds raised directly support Best Buddies programs here in Virginia and DC.
Come connect, learn, and be inspired by the power of friendship and inclusion!
