"It is great to know that an organization like The Trevor Project exists as a place for young LGTBQ youth to turn to. There was, sadly, nothing like it, when I, as a boy, was brutalized. I am thrilled to be donating my performance to support this worthy cause." - Ricky Ian Gordon, Composer

"This concert is for those kids who feel that they have no one to talk to, no one who can understand, no one who cares. That is not true. There are many people out there who care deeply. This night is about showing that care in a concrete way by gathering people from all walks of life: artists, members of the faith community, business people, straight people, gay people, men, women, old, and young who will show up and say, ‘You are not alone. We support you and The Trevor Project.' With the Trevor Project, you have someone to talk to, someone who understands, and someone who cares. The Trevor Project can help." - Matthew Morris, Producer
