Monmouth Teens Open Doors for Homeless Youth on April 13

Fresh off an incredible run as one of the most popular contestants on American Idol, Covenant House resident Hollywood Anderson will be at Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School on April 13 to sing the now famous song that made Jennifer Lopez cry.

Like so many of our homeless youth Anderson is a survivor. His childhood in Florida was filled with family conflict. He remembers spending nights sleeping under bridges and in abandoned buildings and parks. Through it all he never gave up hope. He found his way to Covenant House and now he is sharing his amazing story and his incredible talent to inspire homeless youth across Monmouth County.

“I am so grateful for Covenant House, “said Anderson. “If it was not for the staff and volunteers there, I wouldn’t have been able to follow my dreams of being on American Idol. I am so excited to sing my song, Best Friend, for people who support Covenant House.”

Anderson and many talented local students will perform along Broadway stars Richard Todd Adams, (Phantom, Les Miserables) David Elder (Curtains, 42nd Street) and Darius Kaleb (Motown) to benefit Covenant House Asbury Park. Current Covenant House residents will share their inspiring stories and sing in the show-stopping finale.

Future stars from Rumson Fair Haven Regional HS, Red Bank Regional HS, Red Bank Catholic HS, Middletown South HS, Howell HS, Freehold HS, and Shore Regional HS along with outstanding performers from Kick Dance Studio will give their time and talent on this amazing night to help homeless young people follow their dreams.

A Night of Future Broadway Stars, April 13, 7:00 pm at Rumson Fair Haven Regional High School in Rumson NJ. Tickets are available online at chnj.booktix.com and at the door for $25.00. Students and Senior Citizen tickets are $20.
