Covenant House Washington held their annual "Night of Stars" Gala on June 1, 2017. The Gala serves as a night to "recognize the individuals and organizations who've helped change the lives of homeless, disconnected, and exploited youth". Entertainment was provided by Oscar nominee Keith Robinson, comedian Cocoa Brown, and local D.C. band "X-Factor".
