Entertainment mogul Tyler Perry Among Those to be Honored at Covenant House Annual Awards June 24

Atlanta – In Atlanta, 1 in 4 of the city’s youth ages 16-21 lives in poverty. Each year over 18,000 people, (mainly women, teens and young children) are trafficked into the United States for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor.

On June 24, 2009 Covenant House Georgia will host its second Awards Luncheon, honoring distinguished individuals and organizations who are dedicated to the quality of life of the homeless youth in Atlanta at The Loudermilk Center in Downtown Atlanta from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. These honorees provide hope, promise and opportunities for today’s youth. They represent unconditional love, respect, service, advocacy, and family in the community. They are the Voice for the Homeless.

This year we are presenting The Youth Photography Project with “The Voice of Homelessness” award, Ms. Patrice Coleman with “The Volunteer of the Year” award and entertainment mogul Mr. Tyler Perry with “The Philanthropist of the Year”.
