Kristina Evans-Sherburne

Kristina Sherburne is the Founder and President and acting Executive Director of The 3D CEB Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preventing veteran suicide through connection, community, and shared experiences.

Her commitment to service began while supporting her husband during his deployments with the United States Marines from 2003 to 2013. Kristina volunteered in countless ways. From preparing barracks for returning troops and planning events, to serving on the Family Readiness Team as the only NCO spouse among Staff NCOs and Officers’ spouses. She believes that service, not rank, defines leadership.

Through The 3D CEB Foundation, Kristina creates spaces where veterans feel seen, supported, and reconnected, knowing that meaningful connection is a powerful protective factor. She leads with compassion, accountability, and collaboration, building partnerships that strengthen impact while honoring the dignity and service of veterans and their families.
