Covenant House Georgia Presents Night Of Broadway Stars At The Buckhead Theatre

Once a year, Covenant House GA presents a Night of Broadway Stars. It is their largest fund raising event of the year. Sponsors like Delta, Turner, Chic-Fil-A, Comcast, Coca Cola, DLA Piper, The Franklin Foundation, Equifax, and Alston & Bird make this evening possible. Private donors like Carol + Paul Garcia, the Cavanaugh family, Sandy + Jessica Douglas, Cristin + Joey Odom, and Marianne + E.G. Lassiter are also incredibly generous and involved supporters of the Covenant House.

The Covenant House GA is not just a shelter for homeless youth in Atlanta, but a tight organization and network of people devoted to transforming lives through educational, medical, career assistant, and the teachings of general self-sufficiency. How to balance a checkbook and create a budget. Covenant House Georgia is a place of refuge, a place of growing, and a place where people find and fulfill their calling. I am proud to partner with them and document such special evenings where amazing talent and phenomenally generous hearts come together to change the lives of our youth. For the better.

The Covenant House GA youth ladies started off at Zapien’s hair salon in Buckhead for their hair and makeup.

After hair and makeup was done, the ladies went back to the Buckhead Theatre for one last rehearsal on the stage with all the youth.
