Tony Award winner Alan Cumming and "Hairspray" film star Brittany Snow will receive awards from the Point Foundation (Point), the LGBT-focused scholarship organization, at the fourth annual Point Honors gala, Sept. 25 at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles.

Cumming (Cabaret, "The Good Wife") will receive the Point Courage Award, which "recognizes an individual who has advocated for the future of the LGBT community and lives with the vision that investing in today's potential will produce a brighter tomorrow," according to press notes.

Snow (also known for the TV series "American Dreams" and the upcoming mid-season series "Harry's Law") will be honored with the first Point Horizon Award, which "recognizes a young person who has taken a leadership role as an advocate of the LGBT community." Luxury automotive brand Audi will receive the Point Inspiration Award, which "recognizes a corporation that champions respect and inclusion of the LGBT community, and operates with the vision that the success achieved by talented young people is limited only by the resources and opportunities they are given to help them fulfill their potential."

The Point Honors gala will include a dinner and awards program, live and silent auctions, and celebrity performers and presenters to be announced.
