“This virus does not get the last word,” said Covenant House President & CEO Kevin Ryan. “This amazing group of stars uniting in love to help us care for kids is proof positive of that.

“These stars have stepped up because they recognize that our young people don’t have the option to shelter at home without a home.  For thousands of young people, Covenant House is their home,” said Ryan.  “We need more food, more supplies, and we need to continue to provide staffing to care for sick and symptomatic youth.  A Night of Covenant House Stars will help us keep our doors open, 24/7, when youth experiencing homelessness need us more than ever.”

A Night of Covenant House Stars will include performances from across the country by Covenant House youth with the support of Broadway Inspirational Voices.
