The Citizen of the Year receives an engraved silver cup that passes to each year’s recipient. As a citizen advocate Horejsi’s volunteer efforts have helped shape Fairfax County's current policy on social services with the Fairfax Alliance for Human Services and Advisory Social Services. Horejsi has also been a strong advocate with the Catholic Charities activities focusing on efforts to help the welfare-dependent families, the elderly poor, the incarcerated, the homeless, the working poor and their children.
