Benefit News: Jimmy Wayne, Jo Dee Messina, Phil Vassar

February 1, 2012/by Sarah Skates

Jimmy Wayne will testify at the Tennessee Capitol on Feb. 8 in support of the Transitioning Youth Act—a program that provides assistance to foster children between the ages of 18-21 once they age out of the foster care system. It has been cited as a critical initiative that helps individuals bridge the gap from their teenage years to adulthood, in both educational and professional terms. Representative Mark White (R-Memphis) is guiding the bill through Legislature. Wayne, who was a foster child, founded Project Meet Me Halfway and walked from Nashville to Phoenix in 2010 to raise awareness for the cause.
