A huge thank you on behalf of Pride for Youth!

As a non-profit agency providing vital services to our community one can imagine we put a lot of effort in to fundraising. On Saturday October 16th Marcy Lang and A. J. Shanti performed live at Kelli’s Bar and Grille in Bellmore to benefit Pride for Youth. We are so grateful to them for dedicating their time to help with our fundraising efforts. Marcy Lang is a singer/songwriter and an all around amazing woman with a huge heart. Marcy has been writing music since early childhood. In addition to her performing at our benefit she also volunteered her time to come perform for our youth the Friday night before at our coffee house. The youth were inspired by her music and her life story that she shared with them. Her message is very positive and definitely had a strong impact on the youth. A.J. Shanti is also a singer/songwriter with a lot of talent. She is an alumni of Pride for Youth which she shared during her performance on Saturday. She stated on the microphone that night, “that place saved me and I am honored to give back”. A.J. also volunteers at Pride for Youth coffee house on Friday nights and is a positive role model for the youth. Kelli’s Bar and Grille in Bellmore has been an amazing ally to us here at Pride for Youth. They have graciously offered their venue to us for many of our fundraisers and are always accommodating with friendly faces. Kelli’s has a great atmosphere and is a great place to go to get drinks and a bite to eat. A huge thanks goes out to owner, Barbara, and all the Kelli’s staff for their support. www.kellisbar.net http://www.myspace.com/marcylang http://www.myspace.com/ajshanti
