Cornerstone Restoration, a non-profit organization serving vulnerable populations in the Austin area, will hold its first live auction event, 'Boots on the Ground,' on August 8, 2025, at Star Hill Ranch. The fundraiser aims to support construction projects that address the physical and spiritual needs of marginalized groups, including the elderly, widows, single parents, children, veterans, disabled individuals, and survivors of human trafficking or sexual exploitation.
The organization, founded on the principle of demonstrating God’s love through tangible actions, focuses on construction-based initiatives to provide hope and healing. According to the press release, funds raised will further Cornerstone Restoration’s mission of 'providing hope in Jesus through construction projects that make a difference.'
Cowboy Auctioneer has donated its services for the live auction portion of the event. Heath Hale of Cowboy Auctioneer expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, 'We have been following the incredible work and faith-filled growth of Cornerstone Restoration for years and we’re so honored to partner with their team this year as strategic fundraising consultants and impactful auctioneers. It’s an honor to help bring the hope, healing, and restoration to those in our community that Cornerstone Restoration serves.'
The 'Boots on the Ground' event will feature a live auction and donation appeal, offering attendees an engaging evening while supporting a cause that impacts vulnerable community members.
