Tasha Page-Lockhart and Friends Benefit Concert Labor Day Sept 2, 2013
The BET Sunday Best finalist has joined forces with other gospel music artists to help raise awareness and funds for a Detroit based nonprofit organization in support of pregnant teens.
Online, August 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - BET Sunday Best Season 6 Finalist Tasha Page-Lockhart takes center stage in her hometown of Detroit! Joining Page-Lockhart is fellow Sunday Best Finalist Kefia Rollerson in a benefit concert on Monday September 2, 2013 at Christian Tabernacle, as she advocates for a segment of our youth who have often been forgotten. The Development Center For Pregnant Teenagers, a Federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit, hopes to raise awareness to the many dangers and contributing factors which contribute to unplanned births to teenagers. The benefit concert will raise funding necessary to support vulnerable young parents and their children.
Joining BET Sunday Best Season 6 Finalists Page-Lockhart and Rollerson, is Larry Callahan, Selected of God newcomer Bobby Newt, and Detroit's own Amish J. McDonald. Attendees won't be disappointed as they will be treated to both old favorites and new music from Lisa Page-Brooks (I Want To Say Thank You) and Lowell Pye all performing LIVE--accompanied by world class musicians under the incomparable music direction of Cliff Lockhart. All performances promise to capture the spirit of compassion and provide tangible support and hope in situations that may seem hopeless through the eyes of a child.
Page-Lockhart once a teen challenged with a teen pregnancy knows firsthand what obstacles young parents face, and lends her voice and talent in an effort to raise funds and provide the opportunities and safety net that she didn't always have. The Development Center For Pregnant Teenagers Founder Charita Douglas shares, "While there are many pregnant teens that have family support, our mission is to advance the welfare of the over one million who don't. We are grateful for the advocacy support Tasha is providing and seeing her strength has been a blessing."
