Attitudes in Reverse: Let's Get TONEz to Honor Ridge Academy

Princeton-based nonprofit Attitudes in Reverse (AIR) hopes to bring the inspirational talent and music of T.O.N.E.z to the students of Honor Ridge Academy this April, but help is needed. AIR is seeking monetary donations to cover the costs of the concert.

Donations for the concert can be made online here.

This concert would be presented to the students at Honor Ridge Academy. The Academy, located in Clark, NJ, is a state-approved private school for students ages 5-21 with learning, social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. The Academy offers a rigorous academic program and highly individualized instruction that provides its students with a solid foundation on which to build their future. Their rich array of therapeutic and behavioral supports, provided by experienced educators in a family-like environment, offer children, adolescents, and young adults – and their families – hope.

“Honor Ridge Academy offers students a new perspective so they can see a new future,” said AIR co-founder Tricia Baker. “T.O.N.E.z’s performance for the students will be an inspiring event for so many.”

T.O.N.E.z (Anthony Keaton) is an American musician, rapper, and actor best known for his Emmy nominated theme song to the FX Network drama series Justified. Produced by Gangstagrass, it was the original main title theme in 2010. All of his songs are personal and many relate to his experiences as an abused child and the impact they had on his mental health.

T.O.N.E.z. connected to AIR through a social media post about the documentary, I Chose Life: Stories of Suicide & Survival, in which he appeared.

AIR is a 501c3 non profit whose mission is student mental health education through encouraging acceptance and kindness. Honor Ridge Academy has earned accreditation by Middle States Association Commission of Elementary and Secondary Schools. Donations for the concert can be made online here.
