Although there is much ado about The Event this weekend as we try and bring as many people into Georgetown South as possible so they can donate to “Reyna’s Children,” we may be losing sight of the woman behind the cause.

Her name is Reyna Torres Alatriste who I watched break down in tears as she realized that her idea of sending her children to Mexico ahead of her so she could fight the cancer here was a ridiculous idea because she would not last any time at all without being able to see her kids, Yarizel (11), Rebecca (10), Marking (5) and Esther (3).

Coinciding with the Historic Downtown Manassas Fall Gallery Walk on Friday, November 6th, marketing and creative firm Imagine will be holding their first annual CANNED: A Show of Art & Compassion group art show in their facility at 9415 West Street in Manassas.

The show is open to the public, and doors will open at 6pm. While admission to the show is free, donations of non-perishable food to Northern Virginia Family Service (SERVE) are encouraged.
