My Friend’s Place canceled its annual “Ending Youth Homelessness” in-person gala due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but, in place, the organization created a virtual multi-day series event “My Friend’s Place Summer Festival.”
The festival will begin on Aug. 9 at 5 p.m. with “Standing Together: A Virtual Concert,” which will benefit youth experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. “My Friend’s Place Summer Festival” will close with “A Night United,” hosted by “Grey’s Anatomy” star and My Friend’s Place volunteer Giacomo Gianniotti, on Aug. 13.
Since its inception in 1988, My Friend’s Place has assisted tens of thousands of youth experiencing homelessness between the ages 12 and 25 discover a path to wellness, self-sufficiency and a permanent exit from homelessness.
