Reston will honor its own — and raise money for Cornerstones — on Thursday at the 24th annual Best of Reston Awards for Community Service gala at the Hyatt Regency Reston.
The event is nearly sold out, says Cornerstones, so if you have not purchased a ticket, act fast. Individual tickets start at $200.
The event begins with cocktail hour and a silent auction at 5:30 p.m. The program starts at 6:45 p.m.
Last year, the Best of Reston raised $675,000 to benefit Cornerstones’ efforts to secure affordable housing for citizens facing homelessness.
