The benefit concert is SAFE's biggest fundraiser, said Teresa Davis, who works with Canaan Development Foundation, one of SAFE's biggest sponsors. Admission to the concert is free, but SAFE House will accept donations. Director Johnnie Harris described SAFE House as a spiritual program that restores men back into the home and community. The concert, sponsored by the Canaan Baptist Church and First Presbyterian, is the fifth since 1994. The performance of the Black Chorus, under the direction of Ollie Watts Davis, is a moving part of the concert, said Black Chorus member Nikki Giovanni Young.
Music touches people.
Davis urged the University community to attend the concert and bring a donation.
