Jon Bon Jovi Slated for Virtual Benefit Concert For At-Risk Youth

May 8, 2020

It has been reported that iconic rock star Jon Bon Jovi, Dolly Parton, and a few other big names are set to perform for “A Night Of Covenant House Stars,” a live stream concert benefiting the Covenant House charity. Proceeds from the event will go towards providing shelter for the homeless youth as well as increasing resources and staff to care for at-risk kids amid COVID-19.

Other stars scheduled to make an appearance in the virtual concert include Diane Keaton, Stephen Colbert, Rachel Brosnahan, Robin Thicke, and Dionne Warwick

“This virus does not get the last word,” said Covenant House president and CEO Kevin Ryan in a statement. “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. We need more food, more supplies, and we need to continue to provide staffing to care for sick and symptomatic youth.”

Hosted by Broadway veteran Audra McDonald and 60 Minutes anchor John Dickerson, the show will air on May 18 at 8:00 p.m. ET on the new streaming service, Broadway On Demand. The event will also be streamed on Youtube, Facebook, Twitch, and on the Stars in The House website in addition to Broadway on Demand.
