Barbara Favola, County Board member Chris Zimmerman, Craig Pascal of BB&T Bank, Mount Zion Baptist Church and Mount Olive Baptist Church.
Funds raised will go toward programs addressing homelessness and substance-abuse recovery at the Volunteers of America Residential Program Center and allow the nonprofit to continue its work to keep Arlington County in the 2.5% Club — as one of the 15 communities in the nation to meet homelessness reduction targets to eliminate homelessness by 2016.
