A Sunday benefit concert by pop duo Jason and deMarco at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Morristown raised just over $1,200 for SAFE (Safe Affirming Family Environment), a Houston-based service organization helping foster children and young adults find jobs and transition to independent living.
Among other initiatives, SAFE runs a Safe House Program to help gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender young adults older than 18 who are displaced or need housing, and to aid younger GLBT or questioning youth in the foster-care system.
Artists and songwriters Jason Warner and deMarco DeCiccio tour the United States and abroad, speaking out about the seriousness of gay teen suicide and the need to provide increased support and resources for gay youth. Redeemer parishioner Jeff Jones sponsored the concert to help support SAFE, which hopes to expand nationwide, and to introduce more people to the singers’ music.
