Charity Concert on January 29, 2005 at Stone Pony to Benefit The Yellow Ribbon Teenage Suicide Prevention Program® In New Jersey
January 9, 2005 (Press Release) --
Asbury Park, NJ (PRWEB) December 15, 2004 -- Jody Joseph, a popular New Jersey music instructor and frontperson for the well known Shore act Jody Joseph & The Average Joes has teamed up with the local Chapter of Yellow Ribbon International® to announce the L.I.V.E. - Rock For Life Concert to benefit directly the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program® (www.yellowribbon.org). The event will take place on Saturday, January 29, 2005 at the Stone Pony, 913 Ocean Avenue, Asbury Park, New Jersey, 732-502-0600 at 6:00 PM. Tickets are $15 and are now available at www.ticketmaster.com and the Stone Pony box office. Tickets for this event are expected to sell out.
The number one priority of L.I.V.E. is to increase awareness about teenage suicide, which has become an epidemic in Monmouth County, New Jersey. 8 Monmouth County teens have completed suicide in the past 16 months compared to 1 in the 4 years preceding that.
The L.I.V.E. - Rock For Life Concert is the vision of Jody Joseph who felt compelled to spread the word about teenage suicide prevention after the loss of one of her students, Stephanie Fritz at the age of 15. Shortly after her passing, Jody approached Stephanie's father, Scott Fritz with the concept of a benefit concert. Fritz, who is the head of the recently formed New Jersey Chapter of Yellow Ribbon International®, was receptive to her idea and the L.I.V.E. concept was born (an acronym created by Joseph's teenage daughter; Live Inspire Vibe Energy).
L.I.V.E. (pronunciation: 'liv) will feature performances by Jody Joseph & The Average Joes, and many of Joseph's music students ranging in age from 5 to 43. Joining the effort is blues/rock guitarist and fellow music instructor Matt O'Ree with the Matt O’Ree Band and students. Invitations to perform have also been extended to some of Monmouth County’s most famous musicians.
Proceeds from ticket sales, merchandise and an open auction featuring valuable music memorabilia such as a Jon Bon Jovi autographed guitar, concert tickets, donations from local retailers and gift certificates to some of the county’s most popular restaurants, clubs and spas will be donated to the New Jersey chapter of Yellow Ribbon International®.
"We are grateful and appreciative that people want to get involved with the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program® to inform teenagers that it’s ok to seek help. Stephanie’s memory lives on if we can help prevent even one more teen suicide." says Scott Fritz.
To date the Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program® has saved an estimated 2500 lives worldwide.
