On May 18th, we joined Covenant House sites across the country for our first-ever virtual gala, A Night of Covenant House Stars. With breath-taking performances from Dolly Parton, Audra McDonald, Stephanie Block, Jon Bon Jovi, Deborah Cox, and Jordan Fisher and inspiring words from Morgan Freeman, Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, and Stephen Colbert, this show was an incredible celebration of the young people we serve and frontline staff who are working each day to ensure their health and safety.
Our youth were able to showcase their talents with the world and share their experiences of strength and resilence as they overcome homelessness. This is a show you don't want to miss, and luckily you don't have to! Streaming is avaiable until August 16th, 2020 on Amazon Prime Video, Broadway On Demand, Facebook, and YouTube.
Thank you to our sponsors & supporters who helped us raise over $518,000 to serve youth experiencing homelessness and escaping trafficking in Atlanta. We can't do this crucial work without you!
Our staff is feeling rejuvenated and motivated after hearing from some of our young people who have shown strength and resilience as they overcome homelessness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We're dedicated to keeping our doors open 24/7 to young people experiencing homelessness, which is why we've also taken our Fund A Need virtual. See how you can further support our young people by providing them with the resources they need for a successful future.
Thank you to our sponsors who have made an immediate impact in the lives of youth overcoming homelessness, especially Platinum Sponsor Blackhall Studios. As a purpose-built movie and TV production company based in the heart of Atlanta, Blackhall Studios believes a major part of its mission is serving the needs of its hometown, and that’s why the studios are a presenting sponsor for Covenant House. Funds we’re helping raise provide formerly homeless youth with hot meals, critical mental and physical health care, workforce development programs, and a safe, supportive home to build a foundation for life.
