Meet Linda

LINDA ARGILA, Professional Fundraiser, Motivator and Founder of DREAM EXTREME welcomes you to the 4th Annual DREAM EXTREME, benefitting victims of domestic violence.

Kiteboarding has empowered Linda to rise above challenges in her life. Ten years ago she was faced with the ultimate challenge when sentenced to one year in federal prison. While incarcerated she had a vision and upon her release she set out to use her knowledge to help children, who like her daughter, experienced separation from their mother. Nearly a decade later, Linda has raised more than $25 million for charity through large scale galas and other events patronized by renowned artists, celebrities and leaders in business and philanthropy.

DREAM EXTREME is a continuation of her motivational and fundraising mission, inspiring women (and men alike) to triumph over challenge.

In 2012, Linda was invited to ring both the NYSE and the NASDAQ opening bell, receiving important publicity and exposure for charitable causes. Linda often travels to the Caribbean to support disadvantaged children. She is an avid kiteboarder residing in New York City with her daughter.

Linda says, “Kiting gives me strength and reinforces my self-confidence. It gives me that needed spark to recharge my spirit and attitude, creating positive energy in my life.”
