Supporting the Community: Cornerstone and The Bee Foundation
Cornerstone Bistro has a longstanding history of giving back to the local community, a commitment rooted in its values since opening its doors in 2015. For co-owner Christine Kondra, this mission is deeply personal. In 2014, Christine and her sister, Erin Kreszl, founded The Bee Foundation after losing their cousin Jennifer Sedney to a brain aneurysm rupture at the young age of 27 on Christmas Day.
Since its inception, The Bee Foundation has raised over $2 million for brain aneurysm awareness, research, advocacy, and support. The statistics are staggering: 1 in 50 people in the U.S. has a brain aneurysm, and over 50% of ruptures result in death. Yet, this devastating condition remains immensely underfunded.
Cornerstone invites its guests to join in supporting this vital cause. Whether through attending events, donating, or spreading awareness, you can help make a difference in the fight to save lives.
Grateful to the Community
Cornerstone wouldn’t be what it is today without the support of its community. Founders Christine and Nick and the entire Cornerstone team are endlessly grateful for the friendships and connections built over the years. Their passion for sharing exceptional food and wine is matched only by their love for creating a space where everyone feels welcome.
At Cornerstone, every dish tells a story, and every guest is part of it.
